BSBA Accounting - Degree Plan for TESC

[Yenisei]

That's an excellent point about the other business courses, keith; however, you would still have the option of doing an MBA or other undergrad courses to accomodate any RA requirements. That's not as onerous as having to do both accounting courses and business courses to meet the requirements or taking every business requirement as a course- you don't want to take too long to earn the degree since you will also need some accounting experience to get licensed and you do want to contain the cost of your degree, making CLEP and DSST for the general business requirements and RA courses for the accounting requirements a good compromise. Note also that in most states 3 grad credits are worth 4.5 undergrad credits.

I've looked at numerous states' stated CPA educational requirements online, and Michigan's are by far the vaguest I have ever seen. Keep pressing them for a definitive answer- you have the right idea.

In closing, I'd like to clarify something I posted earlier so that there is no possible confusion- no state demands 30 additional accounting credits at the grad level or otherwise; however, almost all demand 150 credits overall, or 30 beyond the bachelor's, and those who do not at this point are transitioning to the 150 credit requirement.
