Students in an MS in Accounting program can expect to complete 30 to 36 credit hours of coursework. Full time students could complete these programs in 12 to 18 months. The MS curriculum is similar to that of a Master of Accountancy (MAcc), and usually satisfies CPA licensure education requirements.
You only need a bachelor's degree but you must have 150 credit hours which is about 25 more credits than most majors require so you would be looking at either taking classes during the summer or spending another year in college. After you graduate with your degree in accounting, you can take the CPA exam. Source(s):
