Please note that this is a potential plan for completing your degree within four years. The order of the
classes does not necessarily need to be followed exactly as written. Be sure to check course pre-requisites.
150 credits are to sit for the CPA exam in Maryland and most states. Consult http://www.rhsmith.umd.edu/undergrad/account.html
for more details on courses and additional credits that are required for the MD CPA and for links to other states.
Remember that you must complete ECON200 or ECON201, BMGT220, BMGT 230 or BMGT231, and MATH220 or MATH140
by the end of the semester in which you reach 45 credits (Advanced Placement credits excluded).
