Program Description:

In Maryland, CPA examination candidates must have satisfactorily completed 150 semester hours, including a bachelor’s or higher degree and 60 semester hours in accounting and related subjects. Details can be found online at www.dllr.state.md.us/license/occprof/account.html. In general, the CPA Fast-Track program is designed for those students who already hold a bachelor’s or higher degree and would like to sit for the CPA exam. To be eligible to sit for the CPA exam, candidates must complete a combination of accounting and non-accounting courses. For most students, the remaining courses can be completed within one year. The student should seek advisement from the Accounting program coordinator before enrolling. A student, enrolling in the fall semester, may complete the necessary accounting courses to be eligible to sit for the November CPA exam in the following year. A student, enrolling in the spring semester, may complete the necessary accounting courses to be eligible to sit for the May CPA exam in the following year. If additional non-accounting courses are needed, with proper advisement and planning, the student may still meet this time schedule in many cases.

NOTE: To sit for the November CPA exam, the student should take ACCT 101 and 102, if needed, in the Summer session of the prior year. To sit for the May CPA exam, the student should take ACCT 101 and 102, if needed, in the Winter session of the prior year.
