I recommend taking the accounting sequence at a local cc in this order:
Financial accounting
Managerial accounting
Intermediate I
Intermediate II
Don't go by the course numbers, go by the name and description.
The reason: I have read the course descriptions for some of the credits that transfer into the TESU acct degree (such as SL), and I don't think they are equivalent. Since they are not equivalent, you won't learn what you need to know to be a successful accountant. It might be OK for another business major, but not for an accounting major. I discussed this problem on another thread:

Please see my comments there.
All of this is doubly true of you want to go for a CPA license.

BSBA/Accounting TESU (2016). MSA UIUC (2018).
Need help with portfolios? I earned 18 credits at TESU through portfolio evaluations. Nine of those were for upper level accounting courses. My advice for PLA/portfolios: TESU portfolio tips The first post has the Portfolio Checklist I created. Page ten has the actual narrative I wrote to receive credit for ACC-440.
Using Straighterline's Financial Accounting as a substitute for TESU's Intermediate Accounting I? Don't do it if you are an accounting major and/or want your CPA license. They are not the same course and I think TESU has erred in accepting the SL course as Intermediate I. I made this discovery here: Intermediate Accounting II.
