    Hi,
    I have passed all four subjects of the CPA exam. My state is Alaska. I am planning to get licensed. I am short of 6 hours credit (I have only 144 hours credit. How can I get 6 hours credit? Can anyone suggest courses that provide 6 hours credit?

    Regards

    You need to identify what kind of hours you are short. From the Alaska licensing application: In accordance with AS 08.04.120, applicants must have an accounting concentration. An accounting concentration consists of at least 24 semester credit hours of accounting courses, and at least 9 total semester credit hours of business law, economics, and college math/computer science. In accordance with AS 08.04.120, total educational program must include at least 150 semester hours.

    Once you figure that out, you can find options for what will probably be 2 courses that are 3 semester hours each. You will need to make sure they are unique to what you have already received credit for and acceptable to the Alaska Board.

    You listed 147 total hours – why the 3 hour difference? Confirm with the Alaska board that your remaining six hours can be any subject. If you are an international candidate you should work with the board or NASBA to identify a school. Can you take two courses from the school you graduated from?
