The forensic accounting minor is going to be challenging to find as it's not a super common focus. UMPI doesn't offer that focus but they do offere 2 degrees in accounting. How many more classes do you have at SNHU? PUG isn't going to be much easier than SNHU. 15 classes at PUG isn't cheap. They're on a quarter system versus semester schedule. Their degrees are 180 credits because of the quarter system. $371 (plus fees) x 78 credits = $28,938 plus fees. Please do not do that to yourself. That's a lot of debt to take on. Why are you looking to transfer?

I have 23 more classes left to do at SNHU. Looking to transfer as I can only do 1 class a term at SNHU as my FA won't pay for 2 classes.
