Abstract The views on five.year educational requirements of accounting faculty who teach in the 47 states that have a four-year educational requirement for CPAs were compared with the views of accounting faculty who teach in the three states that have a five-year educational requirement. The faculty from five-year states generally reported significantly greater benefits and lesser detriments from the five-year requirement than were anticipated by the faculty from four-year states.
