Home school graduate seeking an accounting degree

You should figure out if accounting is for sure what you want. For starters to learn about accounting in a cheap way, do sophia accounting (which is free). And you can also do onlinedegree.com accounting course which is $9. I found od to have more information than sophias. Even if these don't transfer to the school or your choice at least you can get some experience in accounting and decide that is for sure what you want to major in before starting.

TESU could be a good option. Doing accounting through an alternative credit might not be the best idea though. WGU might be better because WGU’s accounting courses might prepare you for a career better and the credit would be from an actual school. You could still transfer in your gen eds to finish quicker and save money.

For someone just out of high school the big 3 usually isn't the best option. It all depends though. And even financially you might be able to get a cheap education from community college and scholarships. Many community colleges are super cheap already and give high school graduates scholarships to make it basically free.

You could alway start at a community college (could be online community College) and then from there either transfer to a state school or an online school like tesu or wgu.

If you don't have a hs diploma then getting your ged might open up doors. But I guess it just depends how much time and effort it would take to get it. If it would take a ton of time and money you probably could make do with out it. But if it is relatively quick and easy then it might things easier.


But this is is all up to you. You have to decide what you want to do. We can all have opinions but you have to make the best choice for you based on your circumstances. And if you make a choice and if change your mind later that is ok too.
