I am kind of freaking out.

My original goal was to obtain the CPA certificate in Delaware, not the license. I want the credential, not to practice. Therefore I ultimately do not want to have to do the work experience.

I have around 135 college credit hours (another reason why I chose to sit in Delaware to begin with). I passed all four sections of the exam in 2011.

Now I just realized (sigh), that Delaware is no longer a two tier state. After practically having a heart attack, I realized that Alabama and Montana still offer the certificate.

My questions—

1: Can I ultimately transfer my passing credit to Alabama or Montana and get the certificate?

2: It looks like I will now need 150 credit hours to transfer the credit, is that right?

3: Assuming I need those credits, can I take any classes I want.. like Portuguese? I think I have all the accounting course requirements but obviously I would take those too.

If anyone can offer some guidance, it would be SERIOUSLY appreciated.

Yes, you can transfer to another state, but you must meet that state's requirements.

Illinois is a no-go, they are 150 hours.

If I obtain the 150 credit hours, is there anything that would cause a two tier state, such as Montana, to not allow me to get my certificate there with no work experience?

Also, if I already have all of the business/accounting credit hours, can I take absolutely any other classes I want?

Thanks for the help.

If you get the 150 hours, you should be able get the certificate in a two-tier state. Again, you need to be in accordance with the state's requirement.
