I'm also graduating next fall with a BA in accounting. What is your game plan for certification? With the 150 hour requirement for the CPA exam it only seems logical to go to grad school. I'm considering the CMA just so I don't have to go another 2 semesters, however I'd make a lot more money as a CPA but probably have to work "brutal" overtime often.
In New York state the 150 hour rule comes into law starting August 1, 2009. I'll be finishing up by July and will officially graduate in September. I will be eligible under the old undergrad rules. I've confirmed it with the state, and I've just got to finish up by June and fill out form 1 of the application and have it approved before August 1. Still not ruling out grand school though.
