Was it not accepted at all for credit, or just not for that specific transfer credit? (Working through Sophia with my son in hopes of him transferring into the BABA Management and don't want to waste time on a class that won't transfer in.)
Sorry. It was accepted for credit, just not towards my major.

Sure, basics like debit/credits are universally accepted, but accounting major is not about just basic stuff.. American taxation system is also very different. Same goes for the business law.Hello,
I would imagine that accounting degree from American university has limited utility for foreigners unless they intend to start their practice in the US.
It was a toss-up for me between accounting and a business degree. When I was doing courses that would serve both I quickly discovered that I enjoy the accounting classes far more than the business-based ones. I'm in my mid 40's, self-employed and my career path is set with a degree being a non-factor for my professional advancement. This is just a more productive hobby than watching Netflix. I'm doing this literally for the love of learning and a challenge. I'm considering an MBA from there and it meets the entry needs for the universities I have been looking at. I've also got a couple of grown kids who are reluctant to head back to school so I figured it would provide some good incentive. My son is a dual citizen and was also thinking of something finance or accounting-related, but I think he's waiting to see how it turns out for me.
