   Hey everyone, I just got a quick question regarding the new 150 credits rule.

   Does it have to be a Master degree? Or, I could just take 10 additional Accounting/Finance/Business related courses from another recognized university/college, without a diploma, certificate or any sort?

   Btw, I currently have 120 credits. so ya...

   Many thx!

   No thats a misconception, if you wanted to you can take community college classes. They dont have to be from a university. But some people get the degree cause its alot of hours. Colleges try to make money off students by pushing the masters degree.

   FAR: 7/17/10 missed exam FML reschedule 8/29/10-77 EPIC!

   It depends. In MA if you don't meet the experience requirement it has to be a masters degree but if you do meet the experience requirement it can be any 150 credits that meet the criteria.

   FAR- 77
   AUD -49, 71, 84
   REG -56,75!
   BEC -75
   
   If I can do this, YOU can do this! Hang in there :)

   @mla1169 good to know! Since I might have to transfer my NY license to MA. I have the one year experience required in NY, but I'm not sure what the experience requirement is in MA

   BTW I had 144 credits >:O which means that I only need two classes. I'm in a class right now, and it's horrible. To have to do homework for a degree you ALREADY have blows the big one.....that's what she said..... I'll still have to take one more class this coming year--oh and pass two more sections ha.

   AUD 59, 72 :( 72 AGAIN :( :(
   REG 59, 60, 80
   FAR 67, 75
   BEC 58, 79

   I was short around 27 credit hours my self, so i just took DeVry online courses to meet my requirement. DeVry costs alot of money, but the online courses for me are easy and was able to finish fast so i could start studying for the exam. I did take accounting and finance courses to get me in the mood of the CPA exam.

   FAR - Passed (Second Attempt)
