<p>Let me explain my situation... I am planning to major in accounting, and am choosing between going to UW- Green Bay or UW-Madison. They both offer bachelor's degrees in 4 years. However, you can take the CPA exam in 4 years in Green Bay, but need to take 5 years for the CPA in Madison (w/ a master's degree). I really want to go to Madison, but also want to complete college in 4 years. What is the significance of the CPA exam for a future career, and what is your opinion on my decision? Thank you for any help.</p>
<p>if you intend to stay in accounting then cpa is very important.</p>
