Students who desire to take the CPA exam should research the requirements of the state in which they plan to qualify as each state determines its specific requirements. Some states may require graduate credit hours in addition to the undergraduate degree. For students who plan to complete 150 undergraduate semester hours at Jewell for taking the CPA exam, a
College policy allows a ninth semester at reduced tuition by adhering to the following: Students are advised to complete 17 hours each semester, an accumulation of 136 hours after eight (8) semesters. The remaining fourteen (14) credit hours can be completed in summer sessions, inter-terms (January and May), and/or in an additional semester. The student must have made application for the reduced tuition rate through the department prior to the ninth semester and be eligible to sit for the
CPA examination at the end of the 9 th semester. Special dispensation will be given to allow students to take advantage of overseas studies or special internship opportunities.
