Seven of these eight courses must be taken within the Accounting Department at Loyola University Maryland.

150-Hour CPA Requirement

Students who plan to sit for the Certified Public Accounting (CPA) examination in a state with a 150-credit-hour educational requirement must complete additional coursework beyond the undergraduate accounting degree. Loyola offers the Master of Accounting (M.Acc.) to assist students in meeting this requirement. The M.Acc. program offers a 10-course, 30-credit-hour cohort program which can be delivered in a full-time (three semester) or part-time format. Consult the graduate catalogue for more information about the M.Acc. program.
