BA, BABA, BLS - Accounting, which one?

[freeloader]

I don’t think your job prospects would be different much if at all between the BA in Accounting or the BA in Business Admin with Accounting concentration. If it were me, I would do the BA in Accounting because of the classes. Cost is a pretty important class, is required for MAcc admissions at a lot of places, and would be valuable if you end up in a lot of industries. I found the spreadsheets class useful and not overly difficult. Granted, I graduate almost 2 years ago and things have changed.

I really don’t see an advantage to the BABA…unless you want to add a second concentration. You could do the BABA with accounting concentration and a second concentration and it would require fewer courses than the BA Accounting plus BABA. If you are thinking about the UMPI MAOL as a grad degree, getting the management and leadership concentration would (unless things have changed) save you from having to complete some of the grad-level courses for that master’s. Better to have it paid for with Pell Grant than you paying out of pocket for those courses!
