Man I don't know where I have been but I am really
confused about Delaware's credit hour rules. In school (I
went to Maryland) our professors hyped delaware because
we could SIT for the exam with under 150, but would still
need 150 to get certified.
I have now passed all sections of the CPA exam and gotten
my congrats letter from CPA Examination Services with
instructions to take the ethics exam. I see nothing on
this letter about obtaining more credits. I checked the
Delaware website's FAQ and it says "Question: Does
Delaware have a 150-hour rule?
Answer: No."
So wow....you mean to tell me that I don't have to go do
13 more B.S. credits???

Delaware has three pathways to get certified/licensed
1- Associates degree (60 credit hours) + 4 years experience
2- Bachelors degree (120 credit hours) + 2 years experience
3- Masters degree (150 credit hours) + 1 years experience
So if you have 120-149 credit hours, you will need 2 years of experience instead of one.
Also, the catch is you will not be able to transfer your Delaware license to most States if you apply under pathway 1 or 2.
Overall, its not too good to be true.
and its not just Delaware which does not require 150 hours, all the non-substantially equivalent States like California (pathway 1) Colorado, New Hampshire and Vermont, hence the term "non-substantially equivalent".
