- Return to: Majors and Minors This program fully satisfies the educational requirements for licensure as a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) in New York State. New York and most other states require 150 semester hours of coursework for licensure as a CPA. Students intending to pursue general accounting careers in business are advised to consider the BBA Major in Accounting (120 credit) program. Majors in accounting must have an overall grade point average of 2.0 in accounting coursework at Hofstra. In addition, they must have a C- or better in ACCT 101 , 102 , 123 , and 124 , whether taken at Hofstra or transferred in from another institution. Otherwise, these accounting courses must be retaken at Hofstra since no waivers will be granted.

Program Requirements - Total Semester Hours: 150 To meet the New York state 150-hour requirement through the undergraduate BBA, Major in Accounting (Licensure) track, students must take additional elective courses chosen under advisement to total 150 undergraduate credits. This can also be accomplished by pursuing a second major or minor.
