Accounting, Minor

The minor in Accounting is designed to provide non-business majors with in-depth training in the accounting field. Students who complete the minor by taking the appropriate six Accounting courses will meet most, but not all of the requirements to sit for the CPA examination in Pennsylvania and other states.

In order to sit for the CPA examination in Pennsylvania, students must hold a bachelor’s degree with at least 24 credits in accounting-related courses. CPA candidates in Pennsylvania are permitted to sit for the CPA exam with less than 150 credit hours, but will be required to complete all 150 credit hours and satisfy the work experience requirement prior to CPA licensure.
