Dear Noman
There are about 50 or 52 State Boards of Accounting with unique requirements, then there are about 6 external evaluation firms with different evaluators. Then there are each Boards internal evaluators too. So, to me its very difficult to say something about evaluation of someone's credit hours. All I can say is our Pakistani colleges and university education (HEC recognized) is generally acceptable to evaluators. But which course they would accept and which one not, is difficult for me to say.
The best way is to match courses by yourself, and then send for 2 or 3 States of your choice for evaluation, after shortlisting.
As I said earlier, Delaware is 2 tier State, if you do not have acceptable public accounting experience then you can get "certificate" only, but it would not be a "permit" or "license" to practice. But again there is a point that an out of State does not need a "license" to practice if he is not living or practicing in that State. So, "certificate" can be enough sometimes for out of State candidate for industry related job purposes.
Dear you would have to do some research and check detailed rules/ requirements through weblinks I have provided above. I am sorry I could not help you much here.
Just one thing I wanna tell here is that, after you get your evaluation and select a State, and you wanna do courses which are deficient, MAKE SURE if you are taking on-line courses, whether on-line course are acceptable to that State or not.
Best Regards
