Note: Students who plan to sit for the CPA exam should be aware that the rules are changing. Most states now require 150 hours of college. Students should keep abreast of changes in PA law, as well as the rules of the state they may be interested in. Most of this information is available on-line. Students can also consult the Digest of State Accountancy Laws and State Board Regulations in Beeghly Library.
