I’m enrolled in a Masters of Accounting program. I am planning to take the CPA exam in a year or two coming from a bachelors in history.
I noticed that my course listing to get my MSA is a bit unusual because it only requires me to take Auditing 1 for example and not Auditing 2. I would presume that auditing 2 would be an extremely important class to take in preparation for the CPA.
So far I’m completing Intermediate 2 and Auditing 1. I’ve passed the introductory financial, managerial, inter 1, and cost accounting courses. My question is what courses best prepare you for the CPA exam?
My guess is that the intermediate accounting courses prepare for FAR, auditing for AUD, and there are 2 courses in Business Law that I’m required to take. I presume those are for REG. I’m also taking the taxation course this summer.
Is this the “bread basket” of courses to prepare with? The rest of my schedule consists of advanced accounting seminars and research courses. Some other courses are computerized accounting and I honestly want to take only the courses that will best prepare me for the CPA first.
Thanks in advance.
AUD - 83
BEC - 91
FAR - 85
REG - 79.
