I am asking for guidance about some online accounting courses.
Hoping to get some minor guidance, I found out about this forum through this post: Sanantone's BSBA in Accounting - Degree Forum Wiki
Before I begin, I am aware that I can pay the $75 for a school to tesc, excelsior or charter oak to evaluate my credits and I will most certainly do that, but I was just hoping for a bit of guidance before hand.
I currently have a BS in Finance from a State college, so hopefully most of the credits will transfer (Do I even really need them to transfer? I don't know, I just know that I want to test out of as many courses as possible).
I was looking at the CPA 150 Hour Requirement and some of the courses here NYS Public Accountancy - Typical 150-hour program
I know CLEP will work, I wonder about the rest. This is the quote from the CPA website (yes, I can call and ask, but I also feel that I can receive just as bad information from them, so if anybody had experience that would always be helpful)
"Correspondence, CLEP credit, CPA Review courses and online courses are acceptable when an
applicant receives credit for the courses at a regionally accredited college or university. These courses
must appear on an official transcript. "
I need 33 Credits in Accounting including:
Financial Accounting
Cost Accounting
Taxation
Audit and Attestation
Accounting Research
The accounting credits I currently have are (9 out of 33 required)
Financial Accounting
Cost Accounting
Managerial Accounting
Managerial or Business Communications: Straighterline (Business Communications), Saylor (Corporate Communication), Uexcel ECEP (Workplace Communication with Computers)
Intermediate Accounting I - Penn Foster (check for current ACE approval) or Straighterline (Financial Accounting)
Intermediate Accounting II - Penn Foster
TECEP Federal Income Taxation
I feel that I would still need many accounting credits, where could they be obtained? I also need junior or senior level accounting credits, should I just take the course itself at TESC? What are people's thoughts on this? Course Descriptions & Syllabi
Of course I will do everything I can so that there are no duplicates as well.
Question, has anybody had luck taking the CPA exam in a different state?
