The purpose of the ACED Program is to introduce high school students to promising careers in accounting to bring fresh, diverse perspectives to the profession, especially in the face of the nationwide shortage of accountants.  This program has a particular focus on reaching students that might not be sure if a four-year degree or accounting program is right for them.
