The term "terminal degree" refers to the highest degree you can receive in a particular discipline. In most cases that is a Doctoral degree,

With that said - a Master's degree is usually NOTa terminal degree.

There is a good argument that some master's degreees, like an MBA (Master of Business Administration) is the terminal degree in that particular field. You can get a Ph.D. in business, but the empahsis and areas studied are completely different than what is done for an MBA rather than being more extensive and in-depth work in the same same areas. In most disciiplines though, the Doctoral degree is more in depth and specialized than the Masters for the same discipline and thus the Doctorate rathen than the Masters is considered the "terminal degree".

I'm Indian resident. I have u.s. cpa degree. I wants to immigrate to Canada. Will the u.s. cpa degree be of any help in getting a job in Canada?

Here's the answer to your question : You could immigrate in Canada with your U.S. cpa degree but, you can't get a job with your u.s. cpa degree. The only way to get a job in Canada is to have an Canadian cpa degree or an Canadian passport. A CPA degree or a CPA license? An accounting degree is required to get the CPA license. I'm going to assume you have a CPA license. CPA licenses are good only in the state in which they were obtained, unless another state allows reciprocity with that particular state. The AICPA is currently working on having the CPA license in one state being universally accepted in all 50 states. Your bachelor's degree in accounting will probably still be accepted by Canadian countries, since GAAP in the U.S. is probably very similar to GAAP in Canada. IASB is close to GAAP also, but with fewer rules than GAAP.


How much education does a FBI Certified Public Accountant need?

A Certified Public Accountant (CPA) must have a bachelor's degree in most states. Several states require that the applicant have have 150 hours of education, which is in line with the recommendations of the AICPA (governing body). Thus, a CPA that is employed by the FBI will have the same requirements as a CPA that works anywhere else; however, the FBI is primarily interested in candidates with a master's degree. The most certain route to the FBI would be CPA with a specialized masters in forensic accounting or computer forensics. I hope this is helpful, and I am a CPA licensed to practice in Illinois.
