Thread: Bachelor's in Accounting- online or in-school?

I looked at the CPA requirements from the link sent and it doesn't say anything about online classes, it just says you have to obtain your degree from an accredited college and goes on about how many classes you have to take for each subject.

I received my packet in the mail from Indiana Wesleyan and it looks like after books and fees I will only be able to afford to take 4 classes per year. How does that affect financial aid? Is there any chance my previous credits will transfer more to one school than another?

	Accounting Degrees Accounting Degrees Accountants and auditors help to ensure that firms are run efficiently, public records kept accurately, and taxes paid properly and on time.

Beyond carrying out the fundamental tasks of the occupation—providing information to clients by preparing, analyzing, and verifying financial documents—many accountants also offer budget analysis, financial and investment planning, information technology consulting, and limited legal services. Specific job duties vary widely among the four major fields of accounting and auditing: public accounting, management accounting, government accounting, and internal auditing. •Most jobs require at least a bachelor's degree in accounting or a related field. •Job opportunities should be favorable; those who have earned professional recognition through certification or licensure, especially a CPA, should enjoy the best prospects. •Much-faster-than-average employment growth will result from an increase in the number of businesses, changing financial laws and regulations, and greater scrutiny of company finances.
