What is the education requirement for becoming a CPA?
After July 1, 2002, candidates wishing to sit for the Uniform CPA Exam in Massachusetts will be required to have 150 credit hours of college level education. The 150-hour requirement is a result of the growing demand for CPAs to provide clients with a wide range of professional services. CPAs are required to make increasingly complex and technical judgments, creating the need for professionals with diverse skills and a broad educational background. The additional education requirement is designed to meet this need.
