I just passed all four sections and moving towards license application in Massachusetts. One question that confuses me is about score expiration. Before I sit for the exam, I was evaluated as 150 credits but under Bachelor’s degree. I received my Master’s degree after I passed two sections. So my question is whether my score expires in 3 years or not because I only had 150 credits but not the Master degree?

If it doesn’t expire forever I would love to wait for enough experience and apply the full-reporting license, not non-reporting license first, then an upgrade.

Thanks in advance for anyone who might help me clarify this!

I think you have to obtain 150 credits for licensure requirements in three years. If the evaluation came back with 150 credits just make sure you have fulfilled course requirements. If am not wrong… MA candidates would need 30 accounting credits, 3 business law.

If you have Masters Degree I think it could suffice 150 credits requirement. Please do double check this information in the Massachusetts Society of CPA's, and NASBA website.

Always double check with the board but according to this website if you were evaluated with 150 credits to sit, they never expire https://nasba.org/licensure/nasbalicensing/massachusetts/faqs/

Why wouldn't you just get the non reporting and upgrade? Is it a matter of not wanting to do the CPE requirements yet? Can't think of any other reason.
