A checklist is the list of requirements to complete this program and receive the award, as the college publishes it in its catalog. It is the same for everyone. It does not say what you have completed; that comes from applying your own record.

- Description
- To become a licensed Certified Public Accountant (C.P.A.), all states require students to complete 150 credit hours of instruction at an accredited college or university. In the state of New York, students can take the C.P.A. exam after only completing 120 credit hours of instruction, but before receiving a C.P.A. license, individuals must complete an additional 30 credit hours of instruction as well as complete one year of full-time work experience in the accounting field. Because a traditional Bachelor's degree program in New York usually requires 120 credit hours of course work, colleges and universities have developed alternative ways for accounting students to meet the 150 credit hour standard required for professionals who wish to become licensed Certified Public Accountants. One option available at Canisius University is for students to complete an undergraduate program consisting of 150 credit hours of instruction leading to a Bachelor of Science Degree in Professional Accounting. This degree can be combined with a second major or taken as a stand-alone degree. This program usually takes 5 years to complete, but with proper planning can be completed in 4 1/2 years. AP credits may also reduce completion time. This program is registered with the State of New York and qualifies a graduate to take the C.P.A. examination and become fully licensed once all other New York State requirements have been met. In addition to the BS in Professional Accounting, 150 Hr. Program, Canisius offers other 150 Hr. programs that might provide additional benefits to qualified students. Students are strongly encouraged to discuss their career goals and learn about C.P.A. licensing early in their college career by meeting with their academic adviser.
