Degree Plan TESU BSBA in Accounting

[freeloader]

To learn more for CPA, u r better to go for prep courses such Wiley,  Rogers and so on. They r built around CPA requirements for that particular year u r taking exam. I dont see point of going for classes which u have to do tons of work in particular schedules and stress out for grades. If it can be replaced by SDC and few additional self paced courses. U r better getting ur degree faster and focus on good Quality CPA review courses 
Also it will be probably self teaching like maths courses at TESU. So rather spend this effort on the curriculum which covers CPA exams

Just curious: do you plan to work as an accountant before sitting for the CPA exam?  If so, don’t you think it would be a good idea to understand accounting?  When you go for a job interview and they throw some moderately hard accounting questions (challenging, but reasonable for somebody who did well in an accounting undergrad program), would you like to actually be able to answer them?  

I am sure you have seen this: accounting is the language of business. It is a lot like a foreign language. Foreign languages take time to lean.  So does accounting. One subject builds on the last.  Maybe you are super clever and can pass some tests with ACE providers and then cram everything you need with a CPA review course, but maybe not.  I love the Prof Farhat videos. He says on many occasions that CPA review courses do not teach you accounting. I don’t know if that’s true or not, but he probably has a better sense than you or I do. 

Let me put this one other way: most people who take the CPA exam, which is 4 tests, are also working full time as an accountant or something closely related. Assuming you do that, you expect to work 40 (or more, sometime a lot more) hours a week, learn 4 years worth of general accounting content, plus the specific stuff for the CPA exam, and take the tests?  Again, maybe you can, but I wouldn’t want to even try.
