There are six three-credit courses, a four credit capstone module, and an eight-credit exam preparation capstone module. The program at Desautels takes 16 months to complete with courses offered lock-step over three terms: summer, fall, and summer. The program requires students to attend full-time in the two summer terms. In the fall term students normally attend school part-time; no courses are taken in the winter term. During the fall and winter terms students usually work as part of the training period required to meet the requirements of the CPA designation. In the final summer term of the program students enroll in the final course as well as the Common Final Exam Prep Seminar, an intensive preparation course for the CFE. <h2>The Program Structure*</h2> <table> <thead></thead> <tr> <td colspan="2" rowspan="1" style="text-align:center"> <h3>SUMMER</h3> </td> <td style="text-align:center"> <h3>FALL</h3> </td> <td style="text-align:center"> <h3>WINTER</h3> </td> <td style="text-align:center"> <h3>SUMMER</h3> </td> <td style="text-align:center"> <h3> </h3> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" rowspan="1" style="text-align:center">Core Courses 12 credits</td> <td style="text-align:center">Complementary Courses 6 credits</td> <td style="text-align:center">No Courses</td> <td style="text-align:center">Integrative Course 12 credits</td> <td style="text-align:center">Final Exam</td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" rowspan="1" style="text-align:center">COMMON MODULES</td> <td style="text-align:center">ELECTIVE MODULES</td> <td colspan="1" rowspan="2" style="text-align:center"> </td> <td colspan="1" rowspan="2"> CAPSTONE MODULE 1 Integrative Analysis ACCT 695 CAPSTONE MODULE 2 Exam Preparation ACCT 699 </td> <td colspan="1" rowspan="2" style="text-align:center">Students write the Common Final Examination in September</td> </tr> <tr> <td> CORE1 Issues in Professional Accounting 1 ACCT 653 Issue in Professional Accounting 2 ACCT 654 </td> <td style="text-align:center"> CORE2 Strategic Aspects of Accounting 1 ACCT 663 Strategic Aspects of Accounting 2 ACCT 664 </td> <td> Practice of Taxation ACCT 683 Assurance Services ACCT 687 </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" rowspan="2" style="text-align:center">Requires full-time attendance during the days and some evenings</td> <td colspan="1" rowspan="2" style="text-align:center">Classes are two evenings a week.
