PwC offers free masters degree for Black, Latinx accountants

Published Updated 3 Min Read

Pursuing higher education is a barrier for many working professionals, but PwC’s latest program is helping diverse students earn a free master’s degree on the job.

The Big Four firm partnered with Northeastern University to create a masters in accounting program that combines online learning with real-world experience. Participants will be working with PwC’s private client services group; the time they spend on the job transfers into course credit. Earning this degree puts accountants one step closer to becoming a CPA — an accountant who can represent clients with the IRS.
