Degree plan, preferably business or accounting?

[allvia]

If your goal is to go into accounting I would recommend the UMPI route over the TAMUC.  The TAMUC is a great program for those who want a general business (organizational leadership) related degree, but since you're looking at a specific profession the UMPI BABA-Accounting or BA-Accounting would be better long term investment - as they provide you with 'Accounting' right in the degree for your resume. I would see where your existing credits fit best before deciding which of the two; if they apply equally then choose based on which courses interests you more, or which can get through quicker. Yes, UMPI costs more per term but both are so very affordable that with PELL grants in the mix you may not see any out of pocket difference at all (potentially both could be covered 100% by PELL)

Edit: If you do go UMPI route, be sure to take rachel83az's advice and pay the for month ($99*) at Sophia to get the Spanish and Biology w/lab (if you don't have a lab science). The Biology at UMPI is a reported nightmare, and you need a foreign language anyway. Sophia is definitely the easiest and most affordable way to get those two things done, plus most any other (LL) courses you might find yourself missing (outside the 10 'required' courses at UMPI)
