make sure you contact Office of the Professions - NYS Education Department if that's the state you plan to get your CPA license. I would be surprised if New York allows CLEP or StraighterLine courses.
I have about 4 classes left to get my B.S. in General Business and plan to get my additional 24 accounting courses at my community college. For California, and many other states I have read about, they don't allow the 24 units of business and 24 units of accounting courses to come from CLEP or other type of exams. Those courses must be completed by college that is either Regionally or Nationally accredited. On my other courses not pertaining to those core requirements, I'm still trying to find out if my other CLEP exams would count.
