You should Google your state’s requirements.

Typically need a minimum of X hours in accounting-related classes I believe. Number of hours varies by state

Florida is an exception to almost every rule

If you can find a state that lets you with easier education requirements, yes. Only a handful of states require you to meet their standards when transferring CPA licenses (TC, FL, NY, and CA by memory, but confirm.)

You don’t have to get your initial licensure in your state in most cases. Just have to apply for a reciprocal license once you have a license in one state most of the time.

You can pursue a masters in accounting. There are quite a few universities out there that have created bridge programs to get into the masters in accounting to satisfy the accounting credit hours needed for the CPA. University of Alabama at Birmingham has one, as well as University of Massachusetts at Amherst

Are schools even considered in the resale value of a house? Thoughts and insights appreciated!
