I was in the UC system where we went by quarters. I had OFFICIALLY 213 quarters units when I graduated, which translate to roughly 142 semester units. I’m currently taking 18 semester units at community college (I know how to do math, I’m taking some required accounting ones to take the test too).

I don’t need a master’s, right?

In Nevada I did not. 150 credit hours is needed which is equivalent to a masters. Each state is different. I sent my unofficial transcripts to NV Board of Accountancy and she responded the next day saying I checked out and to send official transcripts with my application and I can register right away.

Highly unlikely.

Just check with your state's board of accountancy to make sure you satisfy the minimum requirements.

Under the traditional path, its logical to go for the masters in order to have all the necessary hours. Its like a nice little bonus for the resume en route to the CPA goal. However, if your path took various turns like mine, its pointless to get a masters if you only need a few courses. Now, if you don't have any work experience and are looking for a way to get your foot in the door, getting a masters may not be a bad idea.
