[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have finance degree and am considering pursuing accounting. My question is do you need 30 undergraduate accounting classes  to sit for CPA or can one just  go straight for Masters in accounting? The cpa exam website was a bit confusing about the requirements. [/quote]

I had a bachelors in economics, and I pursued the 24 accounting credits I needed at a community college.

Am now a CPA in DC and applying for reciprocity in MD[/quote]

I'm pp. assuming you are in public if you are applying for reciprocity?  Personally, not worth it for me to pay $300 or so to the state.where I now live.[/quote]

I was looking that this too and it is extremely confusing. I have a master's degree in another field and thought I should just get a master's in accounting. However, it seems I would need to take specific undergraduate courses. I already have 150 credits--what I need is the specific accounting courses which seem to be undergraduate courses.[/quote]

Im PP.

Yup, all you would need is the basic set of accounting/business courses that can be fulfilled at any community college.

A master’s degree in accounting is a waste of money. I paid probably $5000 to take the required courses I needed at Montgomery College instead  of the minimum 20k for master’s degree
