USA Can a CPA with non-accounting major qualify for a job that requires BS accounting degree ?

[jrcpa81]

I am a non-accounting major studying for cpa exam. I see many job postings that requires bachelors in accounting. Does or can cpa license replace or supersede accounting bachelors degree requirement for the job ?

Are you eligible to sit for the exam? Most state boards require a minimum number of college credits in various accounting topics and business law. In some states, having a Master’s degree in accounting or taxation and a Bachelor’s degree in another subject will suffice, however this depends on each state board’s core course requirements. Or you may want to consider getting another Master’s degree, this time in accounting or taxation.

If you're not in the states...you can still check their websites for more information.
