Requirements to become a CPA are determined by the Board of Accountancy in the state in which you wish to become licensed in. All states require 150 credit hours for licensure. Therefore, a Bachelor of Accountancy does not meet the educational requirements to become a CPA. However, the additional coursework can be completed in the New Mexico State University Master of Accountancy. Some states, such as New Mexico allow applicants to take the CPA exam before completing the 150 hours required to be licensed.
