Bachelors in Accounting and Human Resources?

Dumb question, but why waste your time going for a degree at EC that you don't really want?  Why don't you just go straight for the BS in Accounting and onto the MS in Accounting at WGU?

Not sure where the HR comes into play, as I don't think it's necessary with a MS in Accounting, but you can get the BSB-HRM in addition to the BS in Accounting through WGU (although again I'm not sure why you'd want to).

Attached is the spreadsheet to show what a BS in Accounting would cost at WGU.  Your GE is complete, so everything left is in the major.  You can take any of the courses in yellow as courses through any of the way listed - but you should leave enough courses that you get your money's worth out of WGU.  It's a kind of balancing act - you want to take as many courses as you can so that you can complete your degree at WGU in a single term - but not spend so much that you overprice it.  You want to make sure that you take the right number.  I would think that 12 courses at WGU might be a good amount - 2 per month - but you can do more or less.  I also put all of those courses as $100 - but there are ways to get them to be less.  Taking anything as a Saylor exam will be $25.  Taking multiple courses through SL in a single month, and using a coupon will get you a great deal.  Taking more than 2 courses in a month through Study.com will lower costs.  And of course, using Modern States to get free CLEP exams is a great option.  Oh yeah, and OnlineDegree.com is $9 per course, although there are fewer options.

I would suggest taking at least 4 courses through SL of you can keep the costs down - WGU has a discount if you take 4 SL courses.

If you want the BSBM in HR, there are so many overlapping courses that you can get it for practically free (although I have no idea if WGU will let you get them concurrently or if you have to take one at a time, in which case it would cost 2 terms).

Also, the important thing to keep in mind at WGU - you have to take and transfer in all courses before enrolling.  If you enroll, that's it - no credits can come in after that.  I would suggest doing all of the courses you want/need to before applying, and then just be ready to go right away.

Good luck with your degree, whatever you decide to do.
