As noted by others, there is no requirement that you need a degree before getting the CPCU designation. In fact much of the work that goes into getting the designation can transfer over to credit towards a degree.
But most insurance companies are looking for a degree or relevant work experience before hiring.
If you were able to get your CPCU first, this might open up some doors to getting a position with an insurance company. But you might want to look for relevant work experience as well to make your resume look good. |

There is no college requirement to become a CPCU, you just need to pass 8 tests. To be hired as an underwriter though, most companies require at least a bachelors degree. |

You don't need a degree to be a CPCU. However, most insurers won't hire an applicant for the position of underwriter without at least a B.A. |

No college degree is needed for either. However, you do need experience in the insurance industry to understand enough to do either. |

According the letter of the letter of the law, no, you don't need College degree, by the law of the job market, yes you do, unless you have some really good connections, most companies require a bachelors degree. |

I suggest you work on getting a degree, since employers expect it. perhaps the school will accept some of the CPCU courses. |

You do not need a college degree to become a CPCU but you do have to pass all the tests in order to get the designation. I don't think there are any companies that would hire an underwriter without a college degree. |

Not a degree, but I think you have to be certified or something or trained. I know someone who is an underwriter and had to take some courses. |
