    Hi folks, I’m new to this forum, so please go easy on me.

    I was looking at the education requirements for CPA, and this is what I saw:

    California – 24 semester credits

    New York – 33 semester hours

    So what are the differences? In my university, a typical course is worth 4 credits, thus 24 semester credits = 6 courses

    But 33 hours of course is like one or two courses.

    Can anyone enlighten me on this?

    Thanks in advance
