My concern is that I'd be unprepared for a MS Accounting program since I'm using the Study.com accounting courses to meet the requirements of my BSBA in Accounting, and the SDC courses have been a bit of a disappointment in both quality and content. Though if I have any intention of eventually sitting for the CPA exam a more rigorous accounting program is probably exactly what I need.
Most of the basic accounting courses are available at the community college level, so that's always an option if you really need to take them again. Also, I just searched for "Accounting MOOCs" and came up with some free and low cost choices if you just want to study and fill in gaps.
A lot of CC's don't have much in the way of accounting beyond Accounting I & II, some may have Intermediate I & II.
So I'm thinking your best bet is to learn online as best you can, take any requirements you need to meet your state requirement, and then to join a study group to pass your CPA.
And no, Study.com is not enough in and of itself to get you the knowledge you need to pass the CPA. I tend to think of them as a way to get a degree, especially for someone who already has a lot of knowledge in an area. That's why I don't necessarily think an 18yo should get a degree in accounting using our methods - they need a lot more than this to get a good job and succeed in it.
