<p>I’m not sure where I should post this…but …</p>
<p>I know someone who wants to pursue a CPA degree (accounting). She received her bachelors degree in business or something of that nature from a University in China…and received her master’s degree in economics from a US university. Now, she wants to pursue accounting, and wants to get a CPA license. Does anyone know what is the best way for her to do this? Does she need to get another bachelors degree? or any other degree? THanks</p>
<p>One starting point would be <a href=“http://www.aicpa.org%5B/url%5D”>www.aicpa.org</a>, the Web site of the American Institute of Certifed Public Accountants.</p>
<p>Yes, a good starting place is the AICPA’s website, but the rules for being a CPA vary by state. Your friend should look up her state’s regulatory agency, usually shown as a “Board of Accountancy” or a similar title.</p>
<p>It’s been a long time since I became a CPA, but I recall that in some states you needed a degree in Accounting to take the CPA exam. Where I resided at the time, Virginia, you merely had to have a certain number of credit hours in Accounting, which is how I became a CPA with a Psychology degree.</p>
<p>So, have your friend check the state board as well as the AICPA.</p>
