@chb088 Again, that’s 5 years. Most schools still have bachelors in accounting. You don’t need a masters in accounting to get a CPA. You need 150 credits and the courses required by the state. For students with AP credits, they can be CPA eligible in 4 years by just majoring in accounting. An extra year for a degree that does not increase starting salary Is not a wise investment, imo. When my D (an accounting major) was planning on practicing, her 4 year plan, which includes a masters in business analytics, would have made her CPA eligible at the end of 4 years. She’s since dropped a couple of accounting electives since she’s decided to go in a different direction post-graduation and won’t be sitting for the CPA.
