I was considering the Accounting AOS as well. Here are the only test-out or self-study courses possible (after Financial & Managerial Accounting):
Penn Foster
Intermediate Acct I
Intermediate Acct II
Computer Apps in Accounting
CSU-Global
9 choices above Financial/Managerial acct, all of which are UL
Straighterline
Financial Accounting -->> Intermediate Accounting
Managerial Accounting -->> Cost Accounting (UL)
I worried that SL wouldn't teach me enough to be able to do well on higher level courses that built on those topics, so I wasn't going to use them (just based on what people say on this forum about the nature of SL as a learning method).
I took Managerial Finance through PF, and I did not particularly love it, although it wasn't terrible. I just don't feel that I learned a lot. So I was leaning towards CSU-Global for all 6 of the courses.
Hope that helps.
