I suppose someone who REALLY liked tests could use the CPA exam as a "test-out" option for the AOS in an accounting degree. Of course, you'd still have to take the courses "for real" to actually become a CPA, but if you just want an accounting job, it might work.
It's a lot to learn on your own and it's not cheap ($800 or so), either.
So, theoretically, if I pass the CPA exam I can use the passes for 12 credits towards the 150 credit requirement? I think I'm going to call them on Monday and ask. I don't know if I would save money or time, because technically, you need to have a degree to sit for the CPA, so those credits would come in after the degree... But I'm curious.
