If you live in New York State, have you taken accounting classes at Louisiana State University (LSU) online? If so, did they count towards the 33 credits in accounting requirement for CPA licensure in NY? Before I sign up, I would just like to ensure there are no issues with regards to the credits being counted.

Also, please let me know when you took these classes. If there were any issues with NY and LSU let me know.

Thanks!!

Hello, Im in NY I took extra classes at my college to get to 150 before starting the CPA Exam, I heard many candidates “clepped” using those online classes for credits and they were excepted the extra credits needed,

My question is how to get the 1 required credit/class needed in NY, any one know?

I am in the same boat. I need 3 credits in accounting. I tried to email nasba but no answer yet. My understanding from http://www.op.nysed.gov/prof/cpa/cpalic.htm is that the school needs to be accredited in business AND accounting. LSU is only accredited in business. Am I understanding correctly? I went to https://www.aacsb.edu/accredited and searched for schools accredited in business and accounting.
