ACAP

ACAP is a trademark program owned by the National Association of Black Accountants, Inc. and is currently held in over 19 major cities across the country. ACAP is a 6-day summer residency program where students reside overnight (under direct supervision) on a college or university campus to attend technical sessions and panel discussions to learn about college majors and careers in accounting and finance. ACAP was formed after NABA recognized that there was a low percentage of African Americans pursuing college degrees in Accounting and working in the profession. NABA realized there was a need
for a program that could be used to increase awareness of the profession.

NABA Pittsburgh - ACAP program began the summer of 2013 and was held on Point Park University's campus. ACAP is a selective program and students must meet certain requirements to be eligible to apply for the program. Students who are selected to attend ACAP will receive notification from the ACAP Selection Committee.
