More good news like this and the CPA shortage could soon be history.
Accounting enrollments at Maryland’s four-year colleges and universities increased 12.3 percent in 2006, according to the Maryland Higher Education Commission. In its annual report, "Trends in Enrollment by Program: Maryland Higher Education Institutions," the MHEC reports that enrollments have now risen for five consecutive years.
Among public universities, the University of Maryland University College reported the greatest increase, at 19.7 percent, followed by Salisbury University (15.9 percent) and Towson University (13.9 percent). Independent universities were led by Loyola College, which posted a 25.7 percent increase in accounting enrollments last year.
Hang tight, employers: Looks like more CPAs are on the way.
