I passed all my exams, and got the 150 credit hours, but do not have any public accounting experience. In order to get the non reporting license in Mass do I need to get a masters in accounting?

You have to have a graduate level degree (masters or higher) to get the non reporting license. It doesn't necessarily have to be a Masters In Accounting so long as you've met the accounting credit requirement.

Massachusetts CPA (non reporting) since 3/12.
