                                                                      Utah Colleges and Universities Offering Accounting Degrees

                                                                      Utah is fortunate to have outstanding educational opportunities for students seeking to set a solid foundation for accounting, the language of business.

                                                                      The following colleges and universities are accredited by the AACSB and offer degrees which may qualify candidates to sit for the CPA examination in Utah.

                                                                      • BYU School of Accountancy

                                                                      In Utah, the accreditation of the college or university from which an accounting degree is obtained sets the threshold for education necessary to qualify a candidate to sit for the CPA examination. 

                                                                      There are other colleges and universities that hold different accreditations whose accounting programs may lead to a degree that will satisfy the requirements to sit for the CPA examination. In Utah currently, the following additional educational institutions may also be able to provide education that would qualify a candidate to sit for the CPA Exam providing that the curriculum is structured to meet the statute and rule requirements.

                                                                      • Westminister College MBA program accredited by ACBSP

                                                                      Individuals should consult the Accountancy Statutue and Rules to determine that courses taken will meet the legal requirements to sit for the exam. The Rules of the State Board of Accountancy specify the implications of the accreditation of the educational institution from which a degree is granted.  The specific requirements are outlined in R156-26a-302a.  Qualifications for CPA Licensure - Education Requirements.

                                                                      Complete details regarding the requirements to sit for the CPA examination can be found in the Utah Accountancy statute and the rules of the State Board of Accountancy. Questions regarding education requirements should be addressed to the Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing.
