UMPI CPA

*ding ding* That's the 30 minimum credits and also hits what you're looking at, I would apply for the BA Accounting and see what remaining classes are required.

Edit to Add: If accounting is the major you want, you really should check the CPA for your state to make sure the UMPI BA Accounting will hit the requirements.

EDUCATION
Applicants must complete (cannot be in process) a minimum of 120 credit hours of education leading to a bachelor's or graduate degree to apply for the Uniform CPA Exam, which includes at least 24 semester hours in accounting from an educational institution that is accredited by an agency recognized by the U.S. Secretary of Education at the undergraduate level or 15 semester hours at the graduate level, or an equivalent combination that covers each of the following subject areas:

• Financial accounting
  
  
• Cost or managerial accounting
  
  
• Taxation
  
  
• Auditing
  
  
• Accounting information systems
  
  • Applicants must complete the AIS course to satisfy the accounting information systems requirement. Completion of the BIS, MIS or IS courses will no longer satisfy the accounting information systems requirement.
    

So, it looks like everything is covered - I think, until that last point. To meet these requirements, UMPI offers:

BUS220 Managerial accounting
BUS348 Cost accounting
BUS376 Independent auditing
BUS377 Fed Taxation
BUS378 Fed Taxation 2
BUS361 Intermediate accounting 1
BUS362 Intermediate accounting 2
BUS464 Advanced accounting

UMPI only seems to offer MIS, not accounting information systems.

BUS150 is Financial Accounting at UMPI. Yeah they don't have AIS in YourPace. Maybe take that course elsewhere like another online program. Maybe in your state? You might find a state school with decent tuition and take it there.

I just checked out Amberton. I completed my MBA there and knew they had a bachelor's and master's in accounting. They offer AIS! Tuition is $300 per credit so $900 plus around $35 in fees. Terms are 10 weeks long. not a CBE program like UMPI. But it gives you an idea of what your options are for AIS.

And... if you're looking for CBE, you might check out the MS Accounting at WGU and see if that would hit all the spots for you. It's 4 times the cost of the Amberton course, but, you're getting a Masters instead of just one course. All these options and various pricing points, decisions galore!

eMajor has ACCT4210: Accounting Systems for $199/cr.

But if it was me, I'd probably get a MS in Accounting from WGU.
