The State of Tennessee requires 30 hours of accounting to sit for the Certified Public Accountant examination. The Accounting major in the B.S.B.A. provides 27 hours of accounting. Students graduating with the B.S.B.A., who do not plan on pursuing accounting at the graduate level, should plan on taking three additional undergraduate accounting hours beyond the B.S.B.A. Students who plan to sit for the CPA exam in another state should consult the State Board of Accountancy in that state to determine the requirements to sit for the CPA exam.
