Certified Public Accountant requirements

Many but not all states require Certified Public Accountant (CPA) candidates to complete 150 credits of undergraduate or graduate course work, including specific hours in business and accounting. Students interested in becoming a CPA should research the requirements for the state they are interested in and consult a faculty member in accounting to design a program of study based on what they learned.
