<p>With a bachelor’s degree in industrial or electrical engineering + MBA, is it possible to take the CPA exam and become an accountant? Is this common with an engineering degree?</p>
<p>It might be possible if your MBA focus is in accounting, the education requirements will vary from state to state. You need certain accounting courses.</p>
<p>Thanks, Dawgie. Yeah, I did notice that the requirement for credits differs. </p>
<p>Is it common for one to become an accountant with a BS in engineering?</p>
<p>I have never met anyone with an (accounting + engineering) degree.</p>
<p>But why do you even ask that question? You should follow your interests instead of looking at the crowd.</p>
<p>Just my thoughts.</p>
<p>Please read over each post in the thread, “Everything that you wanted to know or should know about accounting.” It will answer your question and instruct you on what you need to do. Specifically check out post number 86 in that thread.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t say its common, both are very specialized fields. You take one or the other as your base.</p>
