In addition, the program meets current undergraduate educational requirements for licensure in other states as noted below as of July 2024.  Clicking on the state will take you to the Accountancy Board for that state; clicking on (statute) will take you to the law or rule specifying education requirements for sitting for the CPA exam in that state.
