This is not to say that ACBSP or AACSB accreditation is strictly required, just that it can facilitate the licensing process -- if your degree lacks that accreditation, then you may need extra work experience or extra business/accounting coursework to compensate. I don't know how many states have such policies, but examples include New Jersey and Utah.
