My best advice I can give you, If you are planning on earning your CPA, then do what my overall plan is. Rushing to the 120/120 at TESU for Accounting. Once that is out of the way I am going to apply to a Masters Program at one of my State Schools and earn a Masters in Accounting. My Girlfriend has her masters in accounting with like 168 credits and she just meets the requirements for the state she went to school. Here in New York It is a little easier which is confusing to me. New York is usually very strict on requirements and all that jazz.
I did research and contacted the board that does the CPA in New York. Explained to them what I am doing and if I would meet requirements with this plan, I was told yes. With the Accounting Degree from TESU I'd qualify for the 120 sit rule in NYS. A Masters overrides the 120 sit rule and you basically auto qualify for the CPA exam assuming you hit there very small credit requirements. You really only have to hit a small window of classes.
A course covering each of the following:
Financial accounting,
Cost or management accounting,
Taxation,
Audit and attestation.
Just my 2 cents for the day!
