However, it is important to note that any deviations from a 32- or 38-credit curriculum will result in tuition adjustments. If you are planning to license in a state outside of Massachusetts, it is important that you review the CPA requirements of your state at NASBA.org. If students wish to deviate from the standard number of credits and add additional courses, the extra credits will be priced at the standard tuition rates in effect at that time. Estimated costs do not include fees. Current tuition includes a $100 scholarship.
