Finance or accounting degree?

[kimaya24]

If I had to complete my business degree again, I would have done a concentration like accounting instead of a general business degree. This is one of the reasons why I am working on completing an MS in Accounting at Liberty University. I almost considered getting a second bachelors degree, but realized that as an Army veteran Liberty U. only charges 250 per unit. Also, like yourself I was split between accounting and finance. This is one of the reasons why I am considering the MBA in Finance after I complete my MSA degree.

Hey, I'm going to Liberty too!! My husband is active duty and I am using his GI Bill to get my B.S. in Accounting. I thought about doing a double major in finance, all I would have had to do is take the major courses for finance as my electives, but I decided not to. 1. It would have taken me a lot longer to finish my degree 2. I would be spending GI Bill money on B.S. courses that I could be using for my Master's instead.

Instead of using up the GI Bill, I decided to do CLEP/ DSSTs for 12 or 13 classes (electives, upper level business, general ed. requirements). Then, I will go on to get my Master's in Accounting. My sister-in-law was saying I should get my degree in Finance, but I decided to go with accounting. I hope to get my CPA one day and after getting some experience and my Master's I'd like to look into being an online Accounting instructor on the side.
