Take Advantage of Every Opportunity

Save on Tuition
We value the work you’ve already done and think it should count toward your degree. If you’re at least 25 and classified as a freshman or sophomore at Simpson, you can submit a Life Experience Portfolio during admissions. The LEP can earn up to 24 credits, which you can use to meet the 150-hour requirement for CPA exam eligibility.

Employer Reimbursement Cuts Interest Costs
Many employers reimburse their employees’ tuition after a class has been completed, and we offer the chance to delay payment until 45 days after the term ends. You won’t have to pay until after the course ends.

We’re Transfer Friendly
During the application process, you’ll submit transcripts of previous undergraduate work from other accredited institutions if applicable. Transcripts are then evaluated to determine how many credits will transfer and how your former coursework meets Simpson’s degree requirements.
