I dont know if its true for all states but in Pennsylvania you need 150 credits in order to obtain a CPA license. I graduated with a bachelors degree in accounting but only have 134 credits. Does anybody know what those additional credits I will need have to be in? Do I need more accounting credits or can they be anything?

As long as you have what is listed under PA education requirements you should be good. The rest of the credits can be obtained in anything for the most part. Just make sure the school / course is accepted beforehand (I recommend emailing your state board). See the link below for PA education requirements.

Does anybody know if college internship credits count towards the 150 minimum? My transcript shows 134 course hours but next to that in total column it shows 148.5 because of internships I did every summer.
