CPA Exam Disclosure
Important Note Regarding CPA Licensure
Each state board of accountancy determines a candidate’s eligibility to sit for the exam. State educational requirements for CPA licensure are subject to change, and the University of Michigan-Flint cannot guarantee that all such requirements will be satisfied through completion of the Master of Science in Accounting program.
If you want to obtain a CPA license, we encourage you to confirm your eligibility to satisfy all educational requirements with the state accountancy board in the state or U.S. district/territory where you wish to become licensed.
Most states listed do not accept the MSA program alone because it does not include the general business courses required by the state. Undergraduate students taking the MSA meet the requirements for general business courses, particularly business law or ethics courses. Please contact Cathy Miller at [email protected] to discuss your options.
