Be careful not to take two classes that are too similar in content.

In my state, if you take, for instance, the equivalent of Intermediate Accounting I at two different schools, you would only be able to apply the credits from one of the classes to the 150 credits required to sit for the cpa exam. Courses with similar content count only once toward the 150 credit minimum probably in a lot of states. You don’t want to apply to take the cpa if you have 150 credits but your state board of accountancy evaluates your transcripts and tells you that you have only 141 that can be applied to the cpa exam requirements because three of the three-credit classes you took at cc were too similar to the ones you took at the university you got your bachelor’s degree from.



“College courses with substantial duplication of content may be counted only one time toward the requirements.”
