Confirmation On Accounting Courses

[FastTrackDegree]

You should go look at job postings and see what they are looking for. And compare GM with non-CPA Accountants. In my experience a lot of Accounting jobs are CPA or EA (good option, without education requirements) prefered, even outside Public Accounting and Taxation. A lot of firms will also only hire you if you have 150 credits aleady, and some have more requirements like a high GPA, specific schools or a master degree. It also depends on where you are in your career, and what kind of connections you have...

The good thing with Accounting is that you could probably get into GM without too much hassle, the other way around would be a lot harder. I think it's a lot more flexible if you want to have your own business too.

You are looking at 2-3 courses depeding on the state, and the only one that can't be tested out is Auditing. Some states will also consider Intermediate Accounting as UL. It's up to you, but it really don't make much sense to skip the Taxation course for the average person, unless you have some specific situation that we can't know about.

A BSBA in GM will be a lot less work, but it seems like a degree you would get if you area already in management too me. Or you just need to check a box.
