The Uniform CPA Exam is administered by the AICPA, but individual state Boards of Accountancy set the requirements for their respective state or jurisdiction. There are currently 55 jurisdictions in which the CPA Exam is offered. In the most general terms, a candidate for the exam usually requires an undergraduate degree in accounting. Many jurisdictions require 150 semester hours of education with the focus on accounting and specific accounting coursework. See if you meet the requirements for the CPA Exam in your jurisdiction.

U.S. citizens can take the exam at any of the authorized Prometric exam locations in 55 U.S. jurisdictions. Candidates must meet the requirements of the jurisdiction where they will become licensed to practice.

Candidates who did not receive their education in the United States may be eligible to take the CPA Exam. Candidates must meet the requirements of one of the 55 jurisdictions or states to take the CPA Exam. Often this includes a course on U.S. Federal Taxation and U.S. Business Law. Foreign candidates will have to have their credentials (transcripts) evaluated by an evaluation service company. Jurisdictions and states specify which companies they accept, so make sure you check with your state before you get your credentials evaluated.

Popular states that foreign candidates choose include California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, New Hampshire, and Vermont.
