TESC Financial and Managerial Accounting. CLEP, SL, or combination?

[thornoak]

Hi all,

I'm currently pursuing my BSBA in Marketing from TESC. I've got my degree plan pretty well figured out, but I'm revisiting the Financial and Managerial Accounting requirements.

My plan was originally to take the Financial Accounting CLEP and Account II from Straighterline. But I have some concerns and questions.

My main concern is that study for and taking the Financial Accounting CLEP would not properly prepare me for SL's Accounting II. I'd hate to take the CLEP and then realize that I was in over my head after registering with SL. One option would be to take Accounting I & II with SL, but that wouldn't be as time/cost efficient. Has anyone tried the CLEP + SL approach that could recommend it?

I did notice that SL offers a specific Managerial Accounting course. Should I take that instead and would TESC accept that for Managerial Accounting? I read on one thread that they place it as Cost Accounting, which wouldn't do me any good.

Thanks!
