Online school. Has it come into it's own?

In Florida they were refusing to let WGU graduate sit for the CPA test or deciding on a case by case basis which credits would count for upper level. They only finally approved about 24 accounting credits from WGU so that you don't have to go to a board review to get permission to take the test. That didn't happen until 2017, even though WGU checked all the boxes, it still wasn't enough for the Florida CPA board.

This was the resolution

So, yeah, there's still some resistance to an online education unfortunately.

I don't know why, but Texas requires 15 accounting credits taken butt-in-seat as if that will make any difference. I don't know if this is still the case, but the State Bar of Texas wouldn't accept online law degrees. There weren't any online ABA-accredited JD programs until very recently, but Texas also accepted foreign law degrees. I thought I found a loophole and could complete an online LLB from the UK, lol.

What are the online ABA-accredited online JD programs? I wasn't aware of any.

My understanding is that most states require a JD from a ABA-accredited school, so I don't think Texas is basing it on whether it is online but rather on accreditation.
