<p>These are the two pathways we currently have:</p>

<p>Pathway 1</p>

<p>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 CPA with an active license; and
  • Passing an ethics course.
    </code></pre>

<p>Pathway 2</p>

<p>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 provide you the professional mobility you desire. Requirements:</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 CPA with an active license; and
  • Passing an ethics course.
    </code></pre>

<p>Pathway 2 is equivalent to other states, correct? And starting 2014, Pathway 1 will no longer exist, also correct?</p>
