<p>I have gotten into UCLA as a business economic major.....does this mean i am in teh program....or do i have to take the pre-reqs and then get into teh program....ALso if i minor in accounting is this equivalent to the same type of degree id get at USC's Leventhal School of accounting????</p>
<p>Any help is greatly appreciated</p>
<p>you were admitted pre-business econ. you have to apply to actually get into the major</p>
<p>The accounting minor is not enough for the CPA</p>
<p>It alone is not, but I know plenty of people who've gotten the CPA after the minor and a couple of years of work experience. Two and PWC, one at Deloitte.</p>
<p>is the acccounting major at SC enough for the CPA....and can anyone who is currently in this tell me how it is like</p>
<p>There are two pathways to becoming a CPA in California:</p>
<p>Pathway 1
Pathway 1 is designed for individuals who will practice only in California and requires:</p>
<pre><code>*
A bachelor’s degree;
*
24 semester units in accounting-related subjects;
*
24 semester units in business-related subjects, accounting courses beyond the 24 required units may apply toward the business units;
*
Passing the Uniform CPA Exam;
*
Two years of general accounting experience supervised by a licensed CPA; and
*
Passing an ethics course.
</code></pre>
<p>Pathway 2
Pathway 2 is similar to the licensing requirements of many other states. Therefore, if you are licensed under this pathway, the majority of other states will recognize your license. If you think that someday you might want to practice in another state, Pathway 2 may be able to provide you the professional mobility you desire. It requires:</p>
<pre><code>*
A bachelor’s degree;
*
24 semester units in accounting-related subjects;
*
24 semester units in business-related subjects;
*
150 semester units (or 225 quarter units) of education;
*
Passing the Uniform CPA Exam;
*
One year of general accounting experience supervised by a licensed CPA; and
*
Passing an ethics course.

<p>So yes, the UCLA minor is technically enough units as long as you tie it to a biz-econ major or an econ major.</p>
<p>SO all in all can someone just someone just answer this..USC strives and selld there alumni network very hard ..... at UCLA will the same type of oppurtunities be presented...just not
as explicitly?</p>
