Professional Licensure Disclosures - Accounting
All programs, regardless of modality, are required to provide general (public) and direct (individual) disclosures to students in programs that lead to licensure or certification. This rule applies to educational programs that are either:
- Designed to meet education requirements for a specific professional license or certification that is required for employment in an occupation
- Advertised as meeting such requirements
Per U.S. Federal Regulations (34 CFR 668.43), Washington and Lee University provides the following disclosure related to the educational requirements for professional licensure and certification in Accounting. The successful completion of the Accounting educational requirements entitles graduates to take the CPA exam in the State of Virginia.

Because states may have different requirements regarding the criteria to become a Certified Public Accountant in their state, students should refer to the appropriate accounting agency responsible for certifying public accountants. The table below indicates whether the W&L CPA program does, does not, or has not determined if its curriculum satisfies applicable educational requirements for professional licensure or certification for the CPA in states jurisdictions. Links to each state's Boards of Accountancy authority are included.
