Additional Finance Bachelor Degree Requirements

While the bachelor degree in finance satisfies the requirements to sit for the Uniform Certified Public Accountant Examination, additional credit is needed for licensure. Individuals are therefore advised to contact the Michigan State Board of Accountancy Licensing Bureau for further information.
Students wishing to become eligible to sit for the examination in other states are recommended to check with the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (www.nasba.org), which services as a forum for the 54 U.S. boards of accountancy, for the state in which they intend to practice.
