• Have earned a baccalaureate degree with a concentration in accounting which is defined by the Board as 20 semester hours or 30 quarter hours in accounting subjects above the elementary level at a four year accredited college or university that offers a baccalaureate degree.

Educational requirements must be met at the time of application.

NOTE: Upper-level accounting course credits received at the community college or junior college level are acceptable provided that the credits have been transferred to a four-year accredited university or college as credit earned towards a bachelor's degree, or higher, and appear on the official transcript from the four-year accredited institution.
