CPA requirements vary by state, so it’s important to research your state’s specific education and licensing requirements before starting any coursework.


While many Study.com accounting and business courses are ACE- or NCCRS-recommended for college credit, each state’s Board of Accountancy sets its own rules about which courses and credit sources qualify toward CPA eligibility.


Before enrolling, check with your state board or a CPA advisor to confirm how Study.com courses may fit into your education plan. This ensures the credits you earn will count toward the coursework needed to sit for the CPA exam and meet licensing requirements in your state.
