Frequently Asked
Questions

To meet the US CPA eligibility for Indian students, candidates generally need a member of the AICPA-recognized educational background. The core CPA eligibility criteria require a total of 150 semester credits. Since a standard Indian Bachelor’s degree (like B.Com) typically provides 90 to 120 credits, many students initially fall short. At Miles Education, we help you bridge this gap through our integrated Masters programs, ensuring you meet the eligibility for CPA without hassle.
The CPA exam eligibility criteria vary slightly by state board in the US, but the common denominator is the 150-credit rule. If you are wondering how to check CPA eligibility, Miles offers a dedicated CPA eligibility calculator and a free US CPA eligibility check. Our experts evaluate your transcripts to determine your current standing and map out the exact path to satisfy CPA eligibility requirements.
Yes. While a B.Com degree is a great start, the CPA course eligibility usually requires additional post-graduate education to reach the 150-credit mark. For CPA eligibility in India, Miles Education has partnered with top US universities to offer Masters programs that allow Indian students to earn the remaining credits while preparing for the exam. This makes the US CPA course eligibility much more attainable for those with a three-year degree.
The eligibility criteria for US CPA remain the same for students and professionals: you need 150 credits and a concentration in accounting and business subjects. If you are looking for US CPA eligibility in India, our Masters pathway is designed to be flexible. We ensure that your eligibility for US CPA is met through accredited coursework that complements your professional schedule.
A US CPA eligibility check involves a foreign credential evaluation. This process converts your Indian marks and years of study into US equivalents. Because CPA US eligibility can be complex, Miles Education provides end-to-end support for the eligibility of CPA evaluation, ensuring your "Bridge" or "Masters" credits are recognized by the State Boards of Accountancy.
If you have a CA, ICWA, or an MBA, your eligibility for CPA course credits is significantly higher. In many cases, these qualifications bring you very close to the CPA exam eligibility. However, you may still need specific "Accounting" or "Ethics" credits to satisfy the CPA eligibility criteria in India. We recommend using our CPA eligibility calculator to see exactly where you stand.
Absolutely. We specialize in streamlining US CPA exam eligibility for Indian candidates. By enrolling in our Masters program, you don't just study for the exam; you concurrently earn the academic credits required for CPA USA eligibility. This dual-pathway is the most efficient way to satisfy the eligibility criteria for CPA and start your career in a Global Capability Center (GCC) or a Big 4 firm.
