new 20-year low in college accounting graduates

but are trends already on the upswing again?

by 卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间

the pipeline of u.s. accounting graduates has fallen to its lowest level in roughly 20 years, capping a decade-long slide of about 17% in completions even as demand from public accounting firms remains strong, according to the latest release of a much-watched study.

in this report:
  • the tension between shrinking supply and resilient demand
  • bachelor’s degrees: from mid-2010s peak to current lows
  • master’s degrees: a steep 15% drop in the last academic year
  • cpa exam trends: the new baseline
  • potential turning point? new growth in enrollments

in addition, the cpa exam pipeline has thinned over the past 10 years, with new candidates and successful passers both down from earlier peaks, though 2023 saw a temporary surge tied to the rollout of the cpa evolution exam.

new research is also revealing that while auditors remain in steady supply, the tax profession is facing a severe and deepening talent drought.

and yet, new enrollment data point to a possible turning point, with accounting program enrollments up double digits in 2024–25 and firms signaling plans to keep hiring as many or more graduates in the year ahead.
