  • CPA Exam Requirements and Exam Performance

    Molloy University NASBA 2019 CPA Exam Performance

    All Testing Events Percent Passed: 50.9

    Number of Candidates: 77

    Graduates of the Molloy University School of Business Accounting program consistently have some of the best CPA exam pass rates regionally.

    The School of Business' mission and vision statements encompass transformative education and executive-based learning to prepare our students for a meaningful professional and personal life, while focusing on an ethically-based, high-quality, and socially-minded education. 

    Our Accounting faculty work diligently to prepare our students for the CPA exam including devoting an entire Capstone class to review key elements of this rigorous certification.

    Students taking the CPA (Certified Public Accountant) Exam in the years after 2009 complete 150 college credits in any combination of undergraduate and graduate courses in order to be licensed. Students may take the CPA Exam prior to earning 150 college credits. Such candidates, however, will not become licensed until they pass the examination, earn 150 college credits and acquire one year of qualifying accounting experience by being supervised by a CPA. For more information on CPA licensing requirements, please refer to the following:

    National Association of State Boards of Accountancy and New York State Office of the Professions

    CPA Exam policies should be reviewed and verified for changes periodically.
