Managerial Accounting - jadechow - 05-05-2009
Hi everybody,
I was hoping for some advice on how to best meet the Managerial Accounting for a BSBA degree. Here's my problem - way back in the day, I actually took an accounting class in a B&M college and got an A. I must have been really "on" that semester cause accounting isn't really my "thing".
Most of the Managerial Accounting classes I have found require an Accounting I prerequisite. So, although I can show that I took and passed it, I can't remember any of the info from Acctng I cause it was a million years ago. I guess I am wondering if I will be able to pass what essentially amounts to an Accounting II class given that my prerequisite pass was so long ago.
I have searched the list and noticed that Epiphany had great success with Straighterline so that might be an option unless it really requires that I "get" the aforementioned baseline material.
Does Managerial Acctg "build" so to speak on general Accntg principles? Do I have any kind of a chance? Math is not my strong suit and I really hate to repeat a class that I already got an A in the first time. Any suggestions?
Thanks so much,
Kelly

Hi Kelly,
Managerial accounting shares some basic principles with Accounting I but I think you will do fine with SL as they are information intense. If they could get macro through my head, they will do wonders with managerial accounting. If in doubt, email them and ask. They are very good with answering questions and concerns. COSC is not accepting managerial accounting from SL and I need the credit. I do have an accounting background and would encourage you to do it. I am sure you will do great.
PS make sure you use the $99.00 offer even though you only need one course. It is much cheaper

I too would say SL through FHSU.
Work at your own pace.
