Your beginning courses will help you grasp the foundational elements of business, such as economics, and financial law.

While the coursework is rigorous, 黑料社provides labs in nearly every accounting class, where you can work alongside your peers.

CPA Licensure

CPA (Certified Public Accountant) licensure requirements vary by state. CPA licensure is not required for all accounting positions. Accounting graduates may find accounting-related employment in all 50 states without the CPA certification. However, there are some specific accounting occupations that do require the CPA license. Where required to practice, the additional cost of the licensing process will be incurred by the student. A few states still require students to complete 150 credit hours as a requirement to take the CPA exam or become licensed as a CPA. However, some states allow students to take the examination with 120 credit hours and become a licensed CPA with the completion of an undergraduate degree only. 黑料社 accounting students must earn at least 120 credit hours to graduate. If 黑料社 students plan to take the CPA exam, they may complete 150 credit hours before graduating by adding either an additional academic program or a blended MBA to accumulate 150 credit hours. Many states also have work or experience requirements to obtain for CPA licensure. Please click to review the requirements state by state. Please note: state requirements change frequently, so it is important to verify the requirements of your state.
