If i want to get CPA, should i get my BS degree in Finance first? Then Master in Accounting?


If i want to get CPA, should i get my undergraduate degree in Finance first? Then Master in Accounting? What is the differences?

I am interested in investment banking, securities, corporate finance,banking these kinds of fields, and i think that if i have a CPA, it would enhance my change to get into these fields.

However, is this a good combination in term of jobs opportunities?
What are the differences among graduate and master in Accounting than graduate in finance and master in accounting?
will it be very hard for finance students to get a master degree in accounting and CPA?

Thank you in advance for those who reply.

If you're interested in investment banking, etc. you should go with a finance BBA and then the MBA. Instead of the CPA, go for a CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst). It's a set of three very difficult tests and is much more valuable than the CPA. You will get some accounting classes both as a finance undergrad and an MBA.

u should need to obtain the degree of B.com first then M.com or master in any accounting field the u can appply for cpa.
after ur master u will automaticlly free to do any extra degree or certificate

What you can do is double-major in accounting and finance. There are also programs, depending on the business school you currently attend, that offer a 5 year program where you can get your BBA and Masters in Accounting. I think you'll get more out of the Masters Degree once you've been in the work force at least 2 years after having graduated. Also bear in mind that a BBA in Accounting is more valuable than a BBA in Finance. You'll have an easier time finding a job with your Accounting Degree than with your Finance but, having both will open more doors for you. If you are absolutely sure that you want to get a Masters in Accounting, then a BBA in Accounting is the right choice for you. In order to sit for the CPA exam you must have 2 years relevant work experience, a BBA, 150 hrs college course credit with 30hrs being accounting courses and 24hrs in non-accounting related business courses. If you double major you'll hit the required hours pretty quick. Hope this helps.

Also remember that Masters in Accounting programs will require you to take the same accounting courses offered at the undergraduate level at the Post-BBA level. These courses are basically offered through a certification program and don't result in a degree but rather a "Certificate In Accountancy". Might as well buckle down and get the Accounting Degree.
