General Licensure and Certification Disclosure

The following programs have been identified as meeting educational requirements for licensure or certification in some states. All current and prospective students are encouraged to contact the relevant program in order to find more information regarding licensure and certification requirements for their current or intended state of location as requirements vary by state. For more details, please see the full policy regarding licensure and certification.

Accounting

The Accounting program meets the educational requirements to apply for the Certified Public Accountant (CPA) exam with the exception of completion of 150 credits. Academic advisors at Doane work closely with students who are considering certification options. Students should contact their advisors immediately to ensure their course of study fulfills all requirements for their state of residence.

Internship Credits: Students majoring in Accounting who plan to take the CPA exam are required to earn 3 credit hours for internship experience or take BUS 496. Because internships are a valued part of the Accounting degree and help meet the 150-hour requirement to sit for the Uniform CPA Exam, accounting majors often take additional internship credits.
