Accounting 1/2, into to finance, macro,micro
#5
I would say you can take macro and micro without the accounting classes (I took macro before micro, and that seemed to work well, as it is a broader topic.)

If you're planning on taking the Principles of Finance DSST exam, it's a tough exam. I took Intermediate Accounting 1 and 2 from TESC, and then studied a corporate finance textbook for maybe 3 hours, and ran through probably 1/3 of the Instantcert flashcards for it, and passed the DSST with a 400 (lowest possible passing score). I didn't do too well on the finance (and especially the specifics of capital budgeting) part of the exam, but knew enough of the accounting questions in order to barely pass. Definitely take accounting first, as much of what is on the Principles of Finance DSST involves knowledge that you will learn via your accounting classes.
It would have taken me at least a month of hard study to pass the finance exam without prior knowledge from accounting classes.
