Hi. I am trying to find an AACSB-accredited online program for bussiness accounting. I am looking to eventually take the CPA exam and will need the 150 credits to do so. Do you have any avenues that I may explore for this information? Thanks. Amber
Yes, we can help. What state are you trying to meet CPA licensing requirements for? All states do not have the same requirements, this is why I ask.
In general you will need a bachelors in business with 24 credits in business and 24 or more in accounting, and a bachelors with more credits than normal — often up to 150 semester credits as opposed to 120 — + 2 years supervised experience working under a CPA.
Make sure you check your state’s specific CPA licensing board regs BEFORE you enroll in any online degree program.
You do not usually need to attend a b-school that is AACSB accredited for the CPA exam BUT if you want one that is so accredited it will narrow your choices.
