    According to the US Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics:

    Professional recognition through certification or licensure provides a distinct advantage in the job market. CPAs are licensed by a State Board of Accountancy. The vast majority of States require CPA candidates to be college graduates, but a few States substitute a number of years of public accounting experience for a college degree.

    As of early 2005, on the basis of recommendations made by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), 42 States and the District of Columbia required CPA candidates to complete 150 semester hours of college coursework—an additional 30 hours beyond the usual 4-year bachelor’s degree. Another five States have adopted similar legislation that will become effective between 2006 and 2009. Colorado, Delaware, New Hampshire, and Vermont are the only States that do not require 150 semester hours. In response to this trend, many schools have altered their curricula accordingly, with most programs offering master’s degrees as part of the 150 hours, so prospective accounting majors should carefully research accounting curricula and the requirements of any States in which they hope to become licensed

    Ik denk dat de eisen verschillen voor elke staat, dus moet je contact op met uw staat van de raad van bestuur van de boekhouding voor het exacte antwoord. In mijn staat, kunt u de CPA-examen met een diploma in alles, zo lang u voldoet aan de vereisten krediet en relevante cursussen. Ik moest hebben 25 uur van algemene bedrijfsklimaat en 40 uur van de bovenste divisie boekhoudkundige klassen.

    Depende de su estado. Sin embargo, los otros respondedores est?n correctos, todos pero un hanful de estados requieren 150 horas para tomar el examen, y en la mayor?a de los estados que ?stos contienen tienen que estar en el campo de la contabilidad. Sin embargo, en algunos estados (incluyendo pienso en algunos de los 4 que no tengan el requisito de 150 horas) la implantaci?n no se requiere para tomar la prueba y usted puede incluso poder tomar la prueba para Delaware en su estado de origen.

    Pero si usted quiere una llamada verdadera de la respuesta su tablero del estado de contabilidad. El Web site del aicpa tiene acoplamientos al tablero de Accountancy' s en todos los estados.
