CAREER OPPORTUNITIES IN THE ACCOUNTING PROFESSION (COAP) PROGRAM IS A SUMMER PROGRAM HOSTED AT COLLEGE CAMPUSES ACROSS NEW YORK STATE AND FUNDED BY MSF. MSF PROVIDES SCHOLARSHIPS TO PARTICIPANTS OF THE COAP PROGRAM FOR THE PURSUIT OF HIGHER-EDUCATION DEGREES IN ACCOUNTING. RECRUITMENT FOCUSES ON MINORITY ETHNIC GROUPS HISTORICALLY UNDERREPRESENTED IN THE ACCOUNTING PROFESSION. IT AIMS TO EXCITE AND INFORM THESE STUDENTS ABOUT CAREERS IN ACCOUNTING AND TO PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES TO INTERACT WITH SUCCESSFUL MINORITY ROLE MODELS AND GAIN EXPOSURE TO THE CORPORATE ENVIRONMENT. THE FIRST COAP PROGRAM WAS OFFERED AT PACE UNIVERSITY IN 1987, AND PROGRAMS HAVE EXPANDED SIGNIFICANTLY WITH MORE THAN 66 STUDENTS PARTICIPATING AT VARIOUS COLLEGES ACROSS THE STATE IN FISCAL YEAR 2019/2020. SINCE THE PROGRAM'S INCEPTION OVER 4,148 STUDENTS HAVE GRADUATED FROM THE COAP PROGRAM. MANY OF THESE STUDENTS HAVE GONE ON TO PURSUE CAREERS IN ACCOUNTING OR BUSINESS. DURING THE PROGRAM, WHICH LASTS THREE TO FIVE DAYS, HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS EXPERIENCE COLLEGE LIFE AND LEARN ABOUT THE ACCOUNTING PROFESSION THROUGH TRIPS TO LOCAL CPA FIRMS AND CORPORATE FINANCE DEPARTMENTS. THEY ALSO PARTICIPATE IN SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED WORKSHOPS AND CLASSES THAT TEACH THEM PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT COMMUNICATION SKILLS, BUSINESS ETHICS, AND INTERVIEWING SKILLS. STUDENTS ARE ACCEPTED TO THE PROGRAM THROUGH AN APPLICATION PROCESS OVERSEEN BY THE NEW YORK STATE SOCIETY OF CPAS. MSF AWARDED 3 COAP SCHOLARSHIPS IN THE 2019/2020 FISCAL YEAR.
