Best plan to get credentials in accounting? Have a BSW and MPA
#1
Hi everyone! Long time listener, first time caller

Your Location: North Carolina, United States. 

Your Age: 45

What kind of degree do you want?: Any, including post-grad certs. I'm open to an entry-level/non-BA master's program. I want to add additional credentials for accounting to move out of the human/social services world. I want to use my MPA in a less direct-interaction-with-the-public way Big Grin . I have been advised by several people that accounting will open more doors in government. I would like to get credits that could be used for a MAcct. if I choose to get one later. 

Current Regional Accredited Credits
Abilene Christian University, BSW, 2001
University of North Texas, MPA, 2003

I have taken classes at other universities before but I honestly don't remember what they were (10 yrs ago-ish). None of them were in an accounting or finance discipline though.

Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits: None

Any certifications or military experience? Nope

Budget: I'd like to go the cheapest route possible, but will consider spending more for easy and fast.  

Commitments: Honestly, just my pets. I currently work full time and can work on my studies part time or in the evenings/weekends.

Dedicated time to study: I can study as much as needed during the night or weekends. I have no social life to speak of. I estimate at least 3 hours every week night and on the weekends, maybe 6 hours, total would be roughly 15+12=27 hours or slightly more.

Timeline: Finishing the courses required for the degree as fast as possible would be ideal.  I would like to finish in 6 mos-1 yr if possible because I am so burnt out from social services, but I'm not really on a fixed time table.

Tuition assistance/reimbursement: None

Thank you for your help!
