Here’s how the eligibility works for both:
For Students
You can begin your CMA exam preparation while completing your undergraduate degree.
To receive the official certification, you’ll need to finish your degree requirements and complete the required two years of professional work experience in management or financial accounting.
For Professionals
Most working professionals already meet the academic qualification criteria for the CMA (USA).
If you have at least two years of experience in finance, accounting, or management roles, it can count toward your CMA experience requirement, making the path to certification much faster.
