Additional CPA License Information

Technically there are no fast tracks to getting your CPA license. You will have to meet all the requirements for the state of Connecticut including passing the three part CPA certification exam. You have also required to have completed 150 college semester hours and meet the required number of hours for accounting courses, general business, and I believe liberal arts. Most other states do not have the liberal arts requirement but, if I'm not mistaken, CT just passed new regulations for this. You must also have about two years of relevant auditing work experience.

These is a catch to all of this though. Once you have completed your bachelor's degree in accounting, you can sit for the exam right away and try to pass it. You just cannot actually become certified until you meet all of the other requirements as well. I hope this information has been useful in answering your question.
