How many years do you have to study to become an accountant?
The number of years is really up to you. I am going for my Associates Degree in Accounting right now and am doing it through a 2 year Community College. I can stop there if I choose or transfer into a 4 year college and continue on for a Bachelor’s degree in Business with my major in Accounting. Then I can, if I so choose, go on and obtain a Master’s degree in Business with a major in Accounting, and further on for a Doctorate in Business. To be truthful if you want to be a proper Accountant you really never stop the learning process but as for the formal, in-class type of training it can be as little as two years or as long as ten years.
