Hey y’all, I’m currently enrolled in the BA accounting degree at UMPI, my ultimate goal is to get master degree in accounting not only to be a Licensed CPA, but to have a deeper understanding of the subject . I was wondering, has anyone gone through this route before? which is transfer from BA at UPMI to a MS at WGU if so, how was the process ?

For a bump or more traction on the topic... Should I merge this with the other thread of yours in regards to the WGU MS Accounting? https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...Accounting

Actually, that's what I would recommend you do, the BA Accounting at UMPI and the extra 30 credits at WGU for the MS Accounting, then review the CPA requirements for your state. Here's the WGU webpage with info: https://www.wgu.edu/online-business-degr...ation.html

I am not familiar about the accounting field, I did search from reddit that if you already completed bachelor in accounting at wgu, it should be enough to sit for CPA exam.

Sorry this is off topic, but how is the accounting program at UMPI? I’m interested in it, but a little concerned about all the writing. Thank you!

UMPI is all assessments and assignments, they got rid of exams. It really depends on the person and the students study habits, time management and so on...

Thank you for the response! Yes I read that it was all writing/project based and no exams, and was wondering how that translates over/plays out in accounting. I’m not sure if I have all that much to write about accounting haha, but hopefully they have good rubrics/outlines. Also, I’ve read that if you transfer in with a bachelor’s, they waive all the general ed requirements. Is that also true when transferring in with an associate’s in interdisciplinary studies (not from Pierpont)? I’ve tried searching but can’t seem to find the answer. Thank you!

Accounting classes at UMPI have assignments that are structured similarly to what you'll find at an actual job. So things like preparing a tax return or an audit report, something like that. I'm not an accountant, so I don't know exactly what the classes are like, or expect, but it's not (just) essays on accounting practices.
