Second Bachelors Degree in Accounting

[kia]

Hello, this is my first post. I have a question. I have a Bachelor of Science in Liberal Arts from Excelsior College. I transferred into my degree program with ten lower level business courses from a DETC nationally accredited college. Excelsior College counted these courses as applied professional or free electives. I want to take the New York State CPA Exam and need to meet their education requirement of 150 semester hours. The education requirements are listed here. I need additional courses or exams in accounting and business from a regionally accredited institution. I prefer credit-by-exam over coursework. In my situation would it be better to get a second bachelors degree, post-baccalaureate certificate, or masters degree? What schools or programs would you recommend?

LSU Independent Study is the most popular online option for accounting courses because they're cheap, not difficult and self-paced. If you take 5 courses through them, you can get a certificate, which is completely useless. Baruch is a good local part-time option in NYC.

Don't test out of non-introductory accounting courses, there's no need to handicap yourself before you even begin studying for the exam in earnest. Feel free to test out of whatever general business courses you're missing.
