Does Pennsylvania require 150 hours of education to sit for the CPA exam?
As of right now the 150 hour requirement has not passed however, may be mandated for CPA certificate applicants after January 1, 2010. The 150 hours of college education would have to be completed through a combination of undergraduate and/ or graduate study. You do not need to accumulate the 150 hours prior to taking the uniform CPA Exam. You may continue to accumulate college credit after receiving your undergraduate degree. Once you have 150 hours of college education, passed the uniform CPA Exam and met experience requirements, you may apply to the Pennsylvania State Board of Accountancy for a CPA certificate.
