To take the CPA exam, you typically need to have a bachelor’s degree and 150 credit hours of education. In addition to the 150 credit hour requirement, most states also mandate a specific number of credit hours in areas such as accounting and business. Depending on your undergraduate degree, you may need to take additional courses to fulfill your state’s CPA eligibility requirements.
