Will the undergraduate accounting degree allow me to sit for the CPA exam?

No. To become a CPA in Wyoming you must have a bachelor's degree, 30 semester hours of accounting, 24 semester hours of business study, 150 semester hours of college education, and one year of full-time work experience. We have implemented a 30 semester hour master of science in accounting program that you can complete in one year. This will satisfy the CPA exam requirement and, more importantly, give additional depth to your program. Of course, the master of science in accounting program is available for all of our students, not just those who are interested in public accounting.
