Enrolling BLS - accounting - NewbieLearner - 12-19-2024
Hi everyone. just need some advice here. I've been going through the Class Review Master Thread a bit but could use some updated thoughts from you all
Everything from Sophia transferred besides the 2 credit Statistics course which I expected. This gives me a total of 109 credits going in.
I'm in the process of enrolling now. I was thinking the BaBa - Accounting But I would need to complete 15 courses at UMPI to make that work
So I think I will probably switch to the BLS - Accounting but I am open to thoughts on this.
I contacted WGU and their MBA only requires basically ANY Bachelors so I think I am ok with that if I go that way after UMPI
BABA - Accounting I would need the following 15 still
BUS 200 - Intermediate Business Computing (RQ9583)
BUS 220 - Managerial Accounting (RQ9583)
BUS 244 - Management Information Systems (RQ9583)
BUS 325 - Financial Management (RQ9583)
BUS 440 - Business Analytics (RQ9583)
BUS 469 - Strategic Professional Communication (RQ9583)
MAT 140 - Mathematics for Business (RQ9583)
COM 210 - Organizational Communication (RQ9583)
BUS 352 - Business Law II (RQ8267)
BUS 361 - Intermediate Accounting (RQ8267)
BUS 362 - Intermediate Accounting II (RQ8267)
BUS 376 - Independent Auditing (RQ8267)
BUS 377 - Federal Taxation I (RQ8267)
BUS 378 - Federal Taxation II (RQ8267)
BUS 464 - Advanced Accounting (RQ8267)
If I go the BLS - Accounting way I would need the following break down
Required:
220 Managerial accounting
361 Intermediate accounting
362 Intermediate accounting
Then any 2 from these choices:
352 Business law 2
376 Independent auditing
377 Federal Taxation 1
378 Federal taxation 2
464 Advanced accounting
Then I would need 4 more courses in the 300 or above level
and finally 1 more course at any level to complete my 30 credits.
Any suggestions are welcome here.
Is it worth trying to make this a BLS in Business AND Accounting (dual minor) ?
can anyone suggest what are the quickest / easiest to fulfill my req's here? Especially something I can knock out quick for my 1 any level course and the 4 uppers in whatever
thanks everyone

Why do you want a degree in accounting? A new career? CPA license?

I had thoughts of potentially looking at CPA down the road but honestly my state and the amount of work/payoff (cost benefit) is just probably not worth it
I'm in the tax finance investment etc world now so the word accounting being on the degree is just sort of the natural thought and if i learn something new taking the classes
that would just be a bonus

You can do some of the classes on study dot com if your start date is still some ways off:
BUS 361: Intermediate Accounting I 3 Study.com Accounting 201: Intermediate Accounting I
BUS 362: Intermediate Accounting II 3 Study.com Accounting 202: Intermediate Accounting II
BUS 464: Advanced Accounting 3 Study.com Accounting 302: Advanced Accounting
COM 210 is available on either study or Sophia: Sophia Workplace Communication or Study.com Communications 120: Presentation Skills in the Workplace
MAT-140 is likely a 1 or 2 class at UMPI.

I was thinking about that too. I know the calc at sophia and and com are available at sophia which I'm sure i could finish in a few days. I've never used Study so I wasnt sure how that
would go.
My start is in January so unless i could really finish up all 5 very quickly ... This is why I am thinking just go BLS instead. thank you!!

Business 200 at UMPI is also reported as super quick as long as you are somewhat familiar with Word, Excel and PowerPoint, which I would assume based on your industry. Business 240 and 244 only have 3 milestones each and should be relatively quick. Business 400/401 are reported to be short, but it might be a good idea to hop on the UMPI Discord for more info.
