Hello,
I am located in California and I am in need of some accounting classes to fulfill the 24 semester units in accounting field in order to sit for CPA exam.
I have read many reviews online that classes taken from LSU online indeed count toward the California education requirement. Yet, I sent an email to CPA exam unit in California (CBA) to confirm, I linked the school’s website to them and this is what they replied to me:
https://www.outreach.lsu.edu/Extended-Campus/Online-Distance-Learning
Thank you for contacting the California Board of Accountancy (CBA). A review of the web site you forwarded indicated that the education offered was continuing education (CE). The CBA is unable to accept courses completed as CE towards the minimum requirements to sit for the CPA Exam or initial licensure under California’s jurisdiction. All courses considered towards the minimum qualifications to sit for the CPA Exam and initial licensure must be completed at an accredited, degree granting education institution, and be taken for either quarter or semester units.
The CBA says that LSU online classes are considered continuing education and they do not count toward the requirement to sit for CPA exam.
Can anybody clarify for me on this ?
Thank you!
