    I am trying to find a full blown DL BS degree in Finance or in finance/Accounting. I have not had a lot of luck.. the website here does not list many.

    So far the 3 I am most familiar with are Liberty University BS Business/Financie, Regis university BS in Finance, and the New Hampshire BS in Accounting Finance.

    Any suggestions?
