Getting to 150 credit hours
How will you earn your 150 hours?
Some people decide to complete all of the credit hours as an undergrad before seeking employment, while others opt to go into a master’s program to get the extra credits along with an advanced degree. Yet another option is to graduate with a typical four-year degree, start studying for the CPA exam right after graduation, and complete parts of the exam while taking classes at a community college – often while also getting experience hours in an accounting position.
