Regent University’s accounting programs are not designed by themselves to lead to initial licensure as a Certified Public Accountant (CPA). Many states may accept a conferred bachelor’s degree to permit an individual to sit for the CPA examination, but additional coursework may still be required for CPA licensure.

Each state independently determines academic requirements for licensure at their discretion and reserves the right to amend their licensure requirements at any time. Each state’s Board of Accountancy can supply you with additional information.

*Rates are subject to change at any time. The per-credit-hour tuition rate is for SBL master’s level courses only. Concentration courses taken from the other schools at Regent University are charged at that school’s tuition rate.
