Accounting - B.S.
The B.S. in accounting degree offered at Hunter College fulfills educational requirements for the CPA examination in New York State. Candidates pursuing licensure in New York State will need to complete 150 college credits including ACCP 49000 – Accounting & Auditing Research. An appropriate master’s degree, while not required, is another path to licensure. For information on the MS in Accounting at Hunter College, see the Hunter College Graduate Catalog. All students contemplating a career in accounting should request a meeting with the accounting program adviser during the lower freshman term. To assure completion of the B.S. in accounting degree within four years, a full-time student should begin the accounting major sequence in the upper freshman term, if possible, and no later than the lower sophomore term, by registering for ACC 27100.
