Our innovative, specially designed online accounting certificate program allows you to take full advantage of the quality courses for which UConn is so well known combined with the flexibility of a primarily asynchronous online education. While our program is primarily asynchronous there are synchronous activities in all Accounting Fundamental courses that require you to be online at specified times, examples of these are an exam that must be completed by all students in a class during a 3-hour window or required group meeting times, where you meet with your group during an agreed upon time during the week.
