Hello - I am enrolled at Excelsior for the Business degree and have passed DSST Financial Accounting. I am thinking about taking Accounting II thru Straighterline to fulfill my Managerial Accounting reqmt, and notice they now have "Managerial Accounting" in addition to "Accounting II". Will their Accounting II still work for my Managerial Accounting reqmt? I would rather take that as I have the book for it already? Thanks!

This was a question that I asked my academic advisor at Excelsior. She wasn't sure at first, so she inquired and informed me that Accounting II IS the course that I was supposed to take to fulfill the Managerial Accounting requirement. From the way she was talking, I'm not even sure if Managerial Accounting at straighterline fulfills the requirement at all (they might not have evaluated it yet, though I'm just speculating here).
But yes, Accounting II is what you want. And if that's wrong, I'm gonna be pissed, as this is what they told me about a month ago and I'm in the process of taking Accounting I and II.

This course from SL is actually a Cost Accounting course. It will be UL from Excelsior when transcribed through ACE. It is way more difficult however. The tests themselves are only 40minutes long with about 30 questions each, so you really need to know your stuff before entering the exam.

For those interested, I just enrolled in Managerial Accounting upper level course!
They have 4 exam quizzes, one midterm and final exam. Not bad, compared to 20+ quiz from Economics SL course. There is alot of overlap.
Their time limit is now around 1hr. 15min. for each quiz.
Any advice appreciated!

How difficult is straighterline accounting? I need to do both. Does anyone know if these two classes will count towards the pre-req accounting classes required for most MBA's?
