<p>Lets say I finished my Management Science major and accounting minor plus I completed a business ethics class.</p>

<p>Am I eligible to take the CPA exam and become a CPA or do I have to take more "business-related courses"?</p>

<p>Need to take more classes</p>

<p>Only Business related courses allowed are Accounting, Finance, BA, Marketing. Math/Econ isn’t considered business.</p>

<p>Oyama: Not true. The following are considered business related:</p>

<p>�� Business Administration.
�� Computer Science/Information Systems.
�� Business Communications.
�� Economics.
�� Business Law.
�� Finance, for example, Financial Management.
�� Business Management.
�� Marketing.
�� Business Related Law Courses offered by an accredited law school.
�� Mathematics.
�� Statistics.</p>

<p>astrina: I thought you are a science major :slight_smile: Glad to see you back. You have been very helpful to me regarding UCSD.</p>

<p>heh, thanks. but it doesn’t take a science major to know how to google ;)</p>

<p>(not-so-subtle hint there)</p>

<p>If google told me everything I needed, do you think I would ask here?</p>

<p>Yeah, I saw that econ/math classes count as “business-related”, but I’m looking for some specifics or personal experience. For example, do all econ/math classes count as “business-related”? </p>

<p>Anyways, thanks for responding</p>
