Earning a CPA
Most entry-level professional accounting positions
require only a bachelor's degree. However,
if you desire to become a Certified Public
Accountant (CPA), the state of Maryland requires
120 credit hours of higher education to sit for
the CPA examination and 150 credits hours to receive the license. This will normally exceed
the number of credit hours required to earn a
bachelor's degree. Most other states have a
similar requirement. You can begin working for a
CPA firm upon receiving your bachelor's degree ,take the CPA Exam,
and subsequently earn any additional credit
hours needed for the 150 credit hour requirement.
You can take undergraduate or graduate courses in order to fulfill this requirement.

provides the foundation for a graduate program
in accounting for students who choose to pursue
a master's or other advanced degree.
