CPA Certification/150-Hour Accounting Program
In order to become licensed as a certified public accountant (CPA), most states now require individuals to complete 150 credits of course work in addition to obtaining a bachelor’s degree and passing the CPA exam. For those students planning to pursue this certification, the student’s advisor will work with them to develop an individual plan to earn 150 credits that incorporates their state’s specific requirements. Most students are able to complete the additional credits within their four years at Elizabethtown through a combination of AP credits, additional semester courses, internships, and/or summer courses.
