Financial Accounting and Managerial Accounting are basic math concepts. As long as you are alright with Adding, Subtracting and a few small formulas here and there you shouldn't have any issues with these courses. From what I remember Financial Accounting had Ratio Formulas such as Current Assets/Current Liabilities. Not the harder part here is remembering what Current Assets are and Current Liabilities are rather then the math of the formula.

dfrecore Wrote:Just a quick note cookderosa - I didn't think Financial or Managerial accounting classes were very math-y at all. Financial especially was addition and subtraction stuff. Really simple. Managerial (And the Finance course) got more complicated with some formulas for figuring out bonds and whatnot, but I still wouldn't say that you had to be particularly good at math to understand the concepts or pass the courses. Just an FYI - I'm still struggling through Stats! :-P
This is good to know. My son is finishing up the last of his non-math related courses, taking a break, and then he needs to tackle accounting, managerial accounting, statistics, and business statistics as his final courses to transfer to WGU. He's dreading stats, but at least I can reassure him that accounting won't be too terrible. As of right now he's planning on both accounting courses via SL and stats at Study.com, after he takes a month or so break once he completes Project Management next Monday.

Why no love for stats? I was so happy to be in a math class that meant something. Algebra....solve for x, what is x,why should I care?
But stats is hooked to real things, like geometry is.
Only time algebra made sense to me was when I took Chem...oh! so we're using math to figure out what the solute is. Why wasn't algebra taught using examples like this?
*grumble* solve for some fairly tale thing....hated algebra.....

Hi there! You shared that you have two homeschooled students using online courses this semester. Study.com has been looking to expand our offering to high school students. We're looking for students to take part in a pilot program where they would take online high school courses that are ACE recommended. These courses can be used to fulfill both high school and college general education requirements. If you're interested in participating, please send us a private message so we can pass along more info!

Thanks for the offer, but I'm going to pass. No disrespect, but I'm familiar with Study products, and they aren't a good fit for our homeschool.
If you would like a suggestion, there is an unmet population. Last data I read shows 62% of homeshoolers do so for religious reasons. Currently, Lumerit (College Plus) is the only provider of Christian-worldview-based ACE evaluated courses, and they do not allow a la carte enrollment - in other words, they are exceptionally expensive and require enrollment in a full program. They now also bought SpeedyPrep and are the "only" fish in that pond. They could use some competition IMO.

That is a great suggestion!
And if I can add a thought, any Christian-Worldview course competition would best be written/taught by individuals who themselves have a strong Christian-Worldview. Both SL's and Study.com's mention(s) of Evangelical Christianity that I have seen were off base from what any Christian I know would believe, and obviously written by someone who didn't understand or agree with the foundation behind the lesson they were teaching.
