How much does PF cost?

where do you see CSU Global for 250/course, is that per course or per credit?

For someone who is beginning with little to no accounting knowledge, would this be advisable:

Take these SL course equivalents: Managerial Accounting, Financial Accounting, Cost Accounting, and Intermediate I and then take these more advanced courses through CSU-Global or Upper Iowa University: Intermediate II, Fed Taxation, Auditing, and Advanced Financial Accounting

The accounting courses, IMHO, are fairly tough but if your general math skills are solid then they are not insurmountable. Be warned that they certainly are not what I would call "fun" or "interesting".

She meant the CSU Global CBEs (compentency-based exams).

I was considering the Accounting AOS as well. Here are the only test-out or self-study courses possible (after Financial & Managerial Accounting):

Penn Foster
Intermediate Acct I
Intermediate Acct II
Computer Apps in Accounting

CSU-Global
9 choices above Financial/Managerial acct, all of which are UL

Straighterline
Financial Accounting -->> Intermediate Accounting
Managerial Accounting -->> Cost Accounting (UL)

I worried that SL wouldn't teach me enough to be able to do well on higher level courses that built on those topics, so I wasn't going to use them (just based on what people say on this forum about the nature of SL as a learning method).

I took Managerial Finance through PF, and I did not particularly love it, although it wasn't terrible. I just don't feel that I learned a lot. So I was leaning towards CSU-Global for all 6 of the courses.

Hope that helps.

There's also the Federal Income Taxation TECEP.

Yes, the CSU are not courses, they are exams.

My plan for the AOS:
-SL Financial Accounting (transcribed as Intermediate I)
-PF Intermediate II
-SL Managerial Accounting (transcribed as Cost Accounting)
-TECEP Fed. Income Taxation
-CSU-Global - 2 UL exams, will probably go with Auditing and Accounting Info Systems.
