Bachelors in Accounting and Human Resources?

Is this the CPA track for all states?  I'm guessing that if you're getting your accounting courses in one state, and taking your CPA in that same state, that your instructors are going to give you state-specific info that will help you in that state.

It looked like WGU was only going to accept a couple of my CLEP credits, but, it turns out college board only sent two of my scores instead of all of my scores.

Honestly, if you want to be a CPA, a BS in Accounting is a far better choice than a BSBA with a concentration in Accounting.  Far better.  I'd suggest you go ahead and get the MS in Accounting as well, and then you should be very well prepared to sit for the CPA (with additional studying of course).  But you'll have SO much more accounting under your belt this way.

 I too have intentions of sitting for the CPA exam in my state and am somewhat concerned about being prepared for it going the TESU BSBA Accounting route. After reviewing the WGU BS in Accounting degree plan, I'm wishing that I would have gone that direction instead. I'm too close to finishing at TESU to change at this point though. All that to say I think defrecore's advice is solid. 

Not to derail the thread, but is it possible to take specific accounting courses at WGU as a non-degree student? I'm not sure that I want to commit to the MS in Accounting, but an additional 30 credits are needed when I finish here in a few months.

Can't you just start the MS in Accounting, and take the courses you want, and then quit when you've completed as much as you want (or when your 6 months is up)?
