Degree Plan Help - TESU BSBA - Accounting

[freeloader]

Hi All,

I'm starting the process to complete my bachelor's and am so overwhelmed trying to figure out which school BSBA Accounting program will allow me to complete it the fastest through credit exams.  I've worked in the accounting/tax world for over 15 years and have managed to have a decent career.  The only thing holding me back is not finishing my degree.  I'm currently enrolled at a community college and have a pocketful of credits that will hopefully transfer.  I'm about to start a class in the fall and wondering if it's even worth my time if I can go the CLEP/TECEP/DSST, etc. route.  I can't find any degree plans posted for the BSBA Accounting degree.  Does anyone have any experience or advice on which school/credit exams will help get me started?  

Here are the credits I have so far:

Johnson County Community College
ACCT 121  Accounting I  3cr
ACCT 131  Federal Income Taxes I  3cr
BUS 121    Introduction to Business  3cr
BOT 101    Computerized Keyboarding  1cr
BOT 115    Electronic Calculators  1cr
FL  160      Elementary Italian I  5cr

Oakton Community College:
ACC 255    Careers in Accounting 2cr

Thanks!! Diana

Welcome, Diana!

What are your ultimate ambitions for your accounting degree?  Specifically, do you think you will eventually want to become a CPA?  

If so, make sure you review the rules for the state where you would want to earn your license. My home state will not count alternative credit sources (like study.com) even if those courses are then included on a college/university transcript (like TESU or COSC) and have transfer credit attached to them. There are states (TX is one, if memory serves), where you have to do some of your coursework in an actual college classroom as opposed to online.

Section III, I think you'd have to take both intermediate accounting courses from TESU

Assuming the transfer guide on study.com’s website is accurate, TESU will accept Study.com’s Intermediate I and II as Intermediate I and II, Managerial Accounting (UL as Mangerial Accounting (UL), Cost Accounting as Cost Accounting, and Advanced Accounting as Advanced Accounting.
