I am not eligible to sit for CPA yet because I didn’t take Information System, Auditing and Business Law in my undergraduate study. I am considering taking them in a community college because it’s cheaper. Any other inexpensive ways I can take them? Thank you very much!

(Another less important consideration than cost is that I plan to do MBA in the future and hopefully my credits in those 3 courses can be transferred to my MBA program.)

I had the issue with business law as the grad school I went to had all their undergrads take it, but my undergrad school did not require it.

However, my masters was from a Level 1 school so my state gave me my NTS when I applied to take FAR. I had to send in the transcript showing I graduated within 90 days of my test date and I did that.

I am trying to get an NTS to register for exams other than FAR.

I would check with your state. If you don't have a Masters degree then disregard my post. I got the Masters degree as I wanted to be able to teach.

Thank you very much.
An alternative I just thought of is that I may register the exam in Maine (which requires me to take only 1 extra course compared with 3 in Massachusetts) and then transfer it to Massachusetts. But getting licensed in Maine will need 2 years of practice, compared with 1 year in Massachusetts.
I would like to ask, can I get the exam passed in Maine, transfer the pass record to Massachusetts, then practice for 1 year in Massachusetts and get licensed in Massachusetts?

Thank you very much!
