Exactly as what I would recommend, you may want to decide from the different concentrations there are, but the BAAS with any of concentrations would require the same general education, electives, the concentration is the only difference (these are residency credits you complete at ETAMU). Good luck, have fun, I would review the two links and create a spreadsheet, you can also decide which concentration is more for you...

Bruh, that's a terrible suggestion. He's looking to get Certified Public Accountant (CPA) Licensure, which means that he needs a degree in Accounting to satisfy the numerous UL Accounting and General Business course requirements. OP, I'd suggest that you look towards WGU for the BS in Accounting to start your search if you are looking for a CBE Accounting program. You can also consider UMPI, but the cost will be the same as WGU and you will have less time to complete the 15-16 courses required for the degree. If you want traditional online (or in person) then UT Permian Basin has a great Accounting program for both the BS and MS levels with lots of great specializations.
