The courses in this program are accepted by the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA). However, the requirements to sit for the Certified Public Accountant (CPA) exam vary by state. Most states require 150 credit hours of education and specific courses, so additional coursework beyond a four-year college degree is likely required to sit for the CPA exam. Please check with your State Board of Accountancy to determine the specific requirements for your state. For more information on CPA licensure requirements, visit the NASBA website.
