Is it better to get your master's degree in Accounting or just take the CPA test after getting your BS or BA?

Answer

Well inr compliance with SOX (Sarbanes and Oxley) you are no longer able to sit for the CPA exam unless you have completed 150 hours of education. So with this being said, you would be able to get the extra 30 hours, obtain a masters and then sit for the exam. This became effetive in 2002.
