Certified Public Accountant: 150-Credit Hour Requirement

For students who are aspiring to be a CPA in Pennsylvania and most other states, each graduate program will provide the credits needed to meet the 150-credit-hour requirement. In Pennsylvania, 36 credit hours in accounting and business related subjects (e.g., finance, business law) are required as part of the 150 credit hours. If you have questions concerning the 150-credit-hour requirement, please contact the department head of accounting, economics, and taxation.

The program of study that appears here applies to students who were admitted for the summer session of this catalog year and later.  Students admitted prior to that term should select the appropriate catalog year of their admission.  Choose previous catalogs from the Home, Graduate, or Undergraduate Catalog Page at http://Catalog.widener.edu.
