But to answer your question - I just checked my local CC and they do offer Intermediate Accounting 1 and 2 online in two eight week formats. It's Ocean County College - http://ocean.edu. I don't know if the program is any good, and I also don't know what the admission criteria is, but it might be something to check out. This option would be awesome but its way to expensive compared to other sources. Otherwise it would be great to get both done traditionally in one semester instead of two. To bad my CC of choice doesn't offer it this way.
Also, what about LSU or CSU Global? I thought those colleges were two options that people were using.
Yeah some people do use CSU Global, I am personally looking for a more traditional type course where I can feel I really learned my topic. Tesu-acct-student has stressed that its very important when you specialize in accounting and I agree with him/her. I personally want to get my bachelors degree within a years time but I also want to know I learned my major area very well. For me if I'm going to pay a place like Penn Foster $300 for the course, I want those credits to be RA and not just ACE. Also with these credits I will be sitting at 22 accounting credits earned from a Regionally Accredited source and wont have to worry about civil service ripping apart ACE credits(don't have any reason to think they will but still I worry about it).
Another local CC for me http://sunysccc.edu/Admissions/Tuition-Fees offers them both two and every semester but my current CC won't let me dual register because they claim they offer the same courses, and yes they do but 1 a year, No Thank you!
