Average income after graduation low

While I've heard CPA licensure is tough, I highly doubt you need to get a bachelor's and 3 masters. In fact, I don't think any state specifically requires a Master's degree. Also, it will take longer than a year.

The UMPI BBA Accounting should allow you to sit for the CPA exam in most states since it has 24 credits worth of accounting credits (double check if it works in your state). Once you pass the exam, you need to apply for certification. You need 1+ year(s) of work experience in accounting verified by a licensed CPA (number of hours and the type of work required differ per state). You also need to verify the required total number of credits (usually either 120 or 150) and if you need to take an Ethics exam. You also need to check if the state board allows ACE credits.

So before you make any more plans, look up your state's board of accountancy website and read the current requirements and policies. Email them directly about UMPI and if the board accept ACE credits.

Well, I know all of this but I’m the type of person that can’t choose one thing. I also tend to ensure total victory. So, 3 masters degrees should do it. I like going to school anyways, it’s fun.
