CPA Credit Requirements

[s19concrete]

While I can't speak for your state, Indiana requires 24 credits in accounting courses and 24 credits in business courses ( 150 credits total) to sit for the CPA exam. BUT, these credits MUST be from accredited courses. CLEP's, DSST's, TECEP's, ( or any credit by exam) will not satisfy this requirement in my state. Definitely check with your state licensing board to verify the requirements. Find it in writing. Here is a place to start:https://www.accountingedu.org/

I'm going to throw this out there as a possible option ( please don't ban me from the forum   ) Lumerit  offers an option for many of the courses that you may need that are accredited through Waldorf (I think??) University. A local community college may be an option as well, but Lumerit courses are easy and much faster. Just some thoughts.

How many credits do you currently have and what business/accounting courses have you already taken?

Hey I actually got a degree in History with Lumerit back when it was CollegePlus   . Anyway, I am back at TESU on my own right now getting a degree in accounting. I currently have 27 Credit Hours in Business just working on the final 3 three with my Business Capstone. I have 21 Credits in accounting with the following courses having been completed.

Clep-Introduction to Financial Accounting
TECEP-Introduction to Managerial Accounting
TESU-Intermediate Accounting I
Penn Foster-Intermediate Accounting II

I have 6 credits left to take as I need courses in audit and taxation which I plan on fulfilling with the courses below.

When all is said and done I should 27 credits in accounting.
