If you are an international student preparing for your CPA application, or someone who live outside the USA looking to get the CPA title, this is the right place.

I am an international student myself who got my CPA while working in Hong Kong. Iโve been there, done that, and Iโd love to share my first-hand experience with you.
The CPA Application Procedure

**The 3E stands for:**
**Education** โ a minimum of 4-year bachelor degree from a regionally accredited institution and 150 credit hours of general coursework, with a minimum number of courses in accounting and business
**Examination** โ the 4-part Uniform CPA Exam
**Experience** โ 1 to 2 years of relevant accounting experience verified by a US CPA, or equivalent
Please note that in the US, the CPA license is granted by US states/ jurisdictions and each of them has slightly different rules. This causes a lot of confusion, but at the same time creates opportunities for whose canโt exactly fulfill the 3E.
Challenges for International Candidates
---------------------------------------
If you fulfill the 3E requirements above, the application process is fairly straightforward. However, if you are like most international candidates, it could be an uphill battle because your profile does not exactly fit a typical accounting student in the US.
For example, if you are educated outside of the US, chances are the your school is not regionally accredited or that it is not a 4-year degree. Also, you may not have a Social Security Number (SSN) or work under a US CPA.
