For my state, that includes having a certain score on the GMAT, having an Associates or Bachelors, just 120 s.h., and having completed certain courses. I know you said you're interested in the CMA cert, but I just wanted to through this out there for you or anyone else who may not of realized this. (:
That's why it is important to check the licensing authority in your state, where you plan on seeking and using a license. The individual state requirements are different. I may be wrong, but I believe the CMA is a certification (good in any state), but a CPA is state-licensed.
