| Abstract | Undergraduate students looking to pursue careers in public accounting and hoping to earn a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) license are required to complete 150 hours of college credits before they can become CPAs. A typical undergraduate accounting curriculum consists of 120 credit hours, and leaves students with many options as to how to complete the additional 30 credit hours needed for licensure. In this study, the researcher surveys practicing public accountants in the hopes of identifying how undergraduate students can best use the additional 30 credits to bolster their future career success. | en_US |
