The requirement is that you have 3 of the 4 areas of specialties (Management, Accounting, Marketing, and Finance) So Advertising, Cost Accounting, and your HRM will fulfill your degree requirement. If you pass the Money and Banking DSST that is great, and you can use the extra class as your special elective.
The question then becomes "which is the path less traveled"? Money and Banking (DSST) or Managerial Accounting (SL)?
I'm a few weeks in on the Managerial Accounting course with Straighterline and currently struggling. I'm about to consider it sunk cost and opt to take the M&B exam instead.
But if you like and understand Accounting, then the Straighterline course maybe the way to go.
Edit: I just read andrewtn's post with his proposed plan. It looks like the Managerial Accounting course is the cheapest way to go "if" you are currently subscribed to Straighterline. If not then I think that a Penn Foster course in Accounting or Marketing would be the less painful way to go, I'm currently doing the Consumer Behavior PF (Marketing) course and I am really enjoying it.
I've also read that the TECEP Advertising is one of the easier ones.
