    Has anyone got a CPA license from Alaska with non-major in accounting?
    Their requirements are so confusing as below:

    A) Degree and Accounting Concentration which includes:
    a completed bachelor’s degree, or its equivalent, conferred by a regionally accredited college or university;
    24 semester hours in Accounting;
    3 semester hours in Business Law;
    3 semester hours in Economics; and
    3 semester hours in college level math, statistics and/or computer science

    or B) Degree and Accounting which includes:
    a completed bachelor’s degree, or its equivalent, conferred by a regionally accredited college or university; and 15 semester hours in Accounting.

    So, in order to be licensed, how many accounting credits are required? 24 or 15? Requirement A is much more strict than requirement B. Neiteher the NASBA coordinator or the Board of Accountancy gave me a reply about this question.

    AUD - 85
    BEC - 90
    FAR - 77
    REG - 91
