Accounting programs, asking for a friend
#1
Hi all,

I have a friend who needs to finish her degree in accounting. I forwarded her Sanantone's degree plan for TESU's accounting degree (post-2015). I didn't see a plan for Excelsior though. Is that a good program? What about WGU's accounting degree? I haven't seen much discussion here about those two programs. When talking about accounting it seems that it is always about TESU. Is this because TESU's program is just better somehow?

Anyway, I'm just looking for ways to help my friend. She's really smart but English isn't her native language. So I think that is part of what is holding her back. I would appreciate any tips or advice that I can pass along to her. Thanks.
BSBA/Accounting TESU (2016). MSA UIUC (2018).

Need help with portfolios? I earned 18 credits at TESU through portfolio evaluations. Nine of those were for upper level accounting courses. My advice for PLA/portfolios: TESU portfolio tips The first post has the Portfolio Checklist I created. Page ten has the actual narrative I wrote to receive credit for ACC-440.

Using Straighterline's Financial Accounting as a substitute for TESU's Intermediate Accounting I? Don't do it if you are an accounting major and/or want your CPA license. They are not the same course and I think TESU has erred in accepting the SL course as Intermediate I. I made this discovery here: Intermediate Accounting II.

Well around 2011 or so TESU had really high pass rates for the CPA exam. That's part of the reason they're well regarded. I don't know about the pass rate now.

The main thing going for the TESU program vs the other two is that the BSBA Accounting degree can be fully tested out of (TECEP for Capstone).
If this question was asked a dozen years to a decade ago, I would have recommended the Excelsior option as it would have been the cheapest.
Note: The degree plan from Sanantone should still work I believe, at least until the end of June/July when the new catalog comes out.

As of now, TESU should still be the cheapest option. I would also get her to apply to the WGU program just to see what they say...
WGU has an application fee waiver for the remainder of the month, may be extended as they usually do, get her to do an evaluation.
Which ever college that allows her to finish cheapest/easiest/fastest at this time being may fit her just fine, it would most likely be TESU.
