|
|
 Return to: Program Information
This program qualifies students for admission to the New York State Certified
Public Accountant (CPA) examination and to those of many other states. (Note:
The New York State Board of Regents adopted the 150-hour requirement for admission
to the CPA examination effective August 2004. Students should check with their
major adviser.) This option reduces the experience requirement for certification
to one year. Students planning to obtain CPA licenses in states other than New
York should also consider taking the New York state 150-hour option. Majors in
accounting must have an overall grade point average of 2.0 in accounting course
work at Hofstra. In addition, they must have a C- or better in ACCT 101, 102,
123 and 124 whether taken at Hofstra or transferred in from another institution.
Otherwise, these accounting courses must be retaken at Hofstra since no waivers
will be granted for them. The requirements are: ACCT 123 & 124, 125, 127, 131, 133, 143, 144; ENGL 30A; LEGL 24 and electives chosen under advisement.
