UMPI BA-Accounting (2nd Bachelor Degree)

[bjcheung77]

Adding credits allows me more future options (such as CPA exam), the accounting specific credentials (degree or cert) is because I'm considering moving into a forensic accounting related field.

Yeah you'd have to go for the BA in Accounting. Seeing how you're considering moving into forensic accounting, a degree in accounting will probably be essential in your job search.

*Ding ding*, this is what I would suggest as well... an entirely new second degree with the BA Accounting.  It really depends on how you want to play things and what is required in that forensic accounting role.  A BSBA with a cert in accounting may be enough as you mentioned...

A TESU Cert is only 18 credits, UMPI minor is 18 credits, the BABA concentration has 24 credits in accounting, and the BA Accounting has 30.  That was the reason I mentioned a BABA Accounting and BA Accounting may suffice as it has more credits in accounting than the Cert or Minor.
