Questions for UMPI BA Accounting

[cizzie]

NY is a PITA compared to many other states.

There is no mention of ACE credits on anything I find for the state so this is something you will have to look into. The 30 additional credits aren't just any credits.

CLEP exams are an option.

Alt credit is tough for CPA licensing in some states. A BA in Accounting with taking the accounting courses and most business courses at UMPI is what others have done in the past. You'll have to wait at least 4 years to get your NY license. Do you want to wait that long?

Do you live close enough to Jersey so you can work there?

Yes, I currently live with my parents & Jersey is about a 1-2hr trip. I am right outside NYC(East) and it's super expensive here, so I probably won't even come back to NY if the Salary in Jersey is right lol. Honestly willing to just follow my career to wherever it takes me, and this could save me a heap of time and money going the alt credit route, I also have family there.

On a side note for anyone in the future reading it, if you use alt credit it must be on a college transcript read this via a Reddit source, so not sure how true that is or not.
