  • Earn a grade of "B" or better in ACCT 2013 – Accounting Principles I
  • Earn a grade of “C” or better in the following pre-business core courses:
  • Complete all pre-business core courses (or equivalents) with a minimum 2.50 GPA.

*The 120 credit hour undergraduate degree, alone, does not meet the 150 credit hour education requirements for CPA examination eligibility. Passing the CPA examination is the first step in licensure. Students must complete additional coursework to meet the 150 credit hour education requirements for CPA examination eligibility. Students should work closely with the Department CPA Examination Advisor to select the appropriate coursework for CPA examination qualification purposes for the state where licensure is desired.
