I am a junior majoring in Finance and, because of the current market conditions, I am considering switching my major to Accounting. What would I need to do to qualify to sit for the CPA Exam?
To sit for the CPA Exam, you only need a bachelor’s degree in any subject. To become certified, you will need 150 credit hours, and 24 or 30 (depending on how your school is accredited) must be in accounting and 24 in business. As a finance major, you already have two required accounting courses and are probably knocking out your required business courses. This should be an easy switch.
