I would definitely look at UMPI, their accounting degree is equivalent, and that degree is very easy to plan out.
UMPI will take almost every course from Sophia so that's a huge bonus. UMPI is soooo easy to plan out a degree for. You only need classes from 3 places if you want to max out your transfer credits. Most of them are Sophia classes which are pretty easy as well. UMPI also has a BA in Accounting, a BA in Business Administration with an Accounting Concentration, and a BLS (Bachelor's of Liberal Studies) with an Accounting Minor. So there are 3 different options depending on how accounting heavy one wants to go.
Which other two places besides Sophia are you referring to, that transfer well over to UMPI?

I spoke with an enrollment counselor at WGU yesterday, and was told that they actually allow a max of 60 credits to transfer. (I made sure to communicate to the enrollment counselor that I'm not ready to enroll yet, and that I want to earn some credits first.)

Good to know. I actually like the idea of more business, and less intense accounting, because, while I'd like to specialize in accounting to some level, I want to be well-rounded in other business aspects as well.
