Then you will take courses in financial and managerial accounting, accounting systems, taxation, and auditing. You will also take six hours of business electives. You may also consider a double-major or a minor in another area inside or outside of business. The State of Ohio has adopted legislation that requires you to have 150 hours of education, including 30 hours of accounting courses, to become a CPA in Ohio. Almost all other states require 150 hours of education. Many states require additional accounting courses and specific courses in other areas. Therefore, to become a CPA in Ohio and other states, you need additional education, including additional accounting courses, beyond Miami's graduation requirements.

To meet the education requirements to become a CPA, Miami's accountancy program offers high-achieving students the option of pursuing a dual-degree program in which they can earn both a bachelor's and a master's degree in accountancy within four years. After completing the program, they are qualified to sit for the CPA examination in the state of Ohio and most other states that have adopted the 150-hour education requirement. (Contact the department's Academic Program Coordinator to learn more about this option.) Alternately, students may graduate at the end of four years with a bachelor's degree and find employment with accounting firms, corporations, and nonprofit organizations where undergraduate education is sufficient. You may also choose to continue your graduate education elsewhere or build toward 150 hours of undergraduate education.

Miami University awards merit-based scholarships to incoming undergraduate students based on their achievements. Students are automatically considered for an academic scholarship when they apply for admission to Miami University.
