CPA and Postgraduate Degrees

These days, in many states, you would need 2000 hours or about one (1) year of accounting experience and about five years of college for a CPA license. Not to mention the CPA exam as well. But the truth today is that a four-year degree just isn't going to cut it. Many universities and colleges offer the one-year master's degree in Accouting or Professional Accountancy so that CPA wannabes can get enough credits for the education requirements while preparing for the exam. Overall, these new degrees seem great and would add a great selling point to one's resume, especially if you are in the business field.
