<p>Right now I’m majoring in es and minoring in psych. I will have 128 credits by the time I graduate with 4 credits in Econ. Can I still take accounting classes, get to 150 credits, then apply for CPA certification and become an accountant?</p>

<p>My goal is med school or pharm school but if I can’t get into either I want to fall back on my major. Since ES is not a marketable major should I switch to an Econ major right away? Should I just major in Econ and minor in bio that way I have the prerequisites for pre health and have a good career to fall back on ?</p>

<p>What state do you plan to sit in?</p>

<p>It really depends on which state you reside in as tdccarpenter indicated in the last post. Go to your state’s board of accountancy to see what are the requirements.</p>

<p>Probably either Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana, or California.</p>
