I forgot about the quarter system thing.

If I end up having 200 credit hours that will only translate to about 135 then.

So I wont reach 150.

How will I be able to?


And one more time, the masters really is a waste of time?

Dawgie

Yea masters is waste of time if you can get a job right out of school.

How will I be able to reach the 150 hours for CPA if I dont get a masters?

Dawgie

By taking courses.

OSUstudent

Courses after i've graduated or what?

If i'm taking extra courses for the CPA would it be better to just go ahead and get my masters then?

Dawgie

No because it's cheaper if you don't do the masters.

Most state boards of accountancy require 150 semester hours of college as a requirement for certification. Most universities that offer a 150 hour accounting program give a Masters of Science degree as an added doggie treat to those who complete the 150 hour program. It's nothing like other MS degrees in that the added hours are not hours added to the accounting curriculum but are just an extra 30 hours of college.

If you want to be a CPA in most states you will have to deal with the 150 hour requirement.
