Accounting STEM Pursuit Act of 2025

Sponsored By: Representative Rep. Kim, Young [R-CA-40]

Introduced

Summary

Accounting education is added to the federal list of "well‑rounded" subjects under Title IV to make accounting and accounting career awareness an explicit eligible activity. This bill would also authorize activities to develop, expand, and strengthen K–12 accounting programs with special attention to students who are underrepresented in accounting careers.

Show full summary
  • Students and families: K–12 students would have clearer access to accounting classes and career information so families can consider accounting pathways earlier.
  • Underrepresented students: The bill specifically authorizes efforts to increase access to high‑quality accounting courses for students through grade 12 who belong to groups underrepresented in accounting careers.
  • Schools and districts: School districts could count accounting instruction and career‑awareness activities among Title IV "well‑rounded" programs and support curriculum development.
  • Educators and programs: Districts could develop or strengthen accounting pathways and related teacher supports to offer rigorous accounting coursework.
