What is the general timeline for getting your CPA

<p>Graduate with bachelors
Masters program for the extra 30 credit requirement
Complete cpa while studying for your masters?
But there also needs to be 1 year of experience right?
So do you land a job during undergrad and defer working there until after you finish your masters? Or do you work while completing your masters?
Im just confused as to where the job comes into the equation.</p>

<p>Graduate (masters) and then take it as soon as possible while you still remember something. If needed, you’re employer might even pay for a review course. Once you pass and meet the experience requirement then you can get certified.</p>

<p>You can begin studying for the exam while still in school and may be able to sit for it before you have enough work experience to be properly licensed. That may depend on your state, though. I think most people study for and take the CPA while working after graduation. That’s what I’m doing anyway.</p>
