Hi, I would like to sit for the aicpa exam but I am in short of acounting credit hours. What is the cheapest distance learning method to earn more accounting credits? Thanks!
Re: Re: aicpa exam credits Thanks Stanislav! I have checked the online course catalog of lsu which is great and has many accounting courses. But all the courses need 2-3 proctor exams which may be very difficult or expensive to arrange as an overseas student. Any alternatives?
I'm sure there are many. My wife used UCLA Extension http://www.uclaextension.edu/ to supplement LSU. These classes are fully online, but they are on a quarter schedule and may not be offered every term. The cost is $500 for a 4-unit class - twice as expensive as LSU but still reasonable.
Re: Re: Re: Re: aicpa exam credits Most people are either going for a Master of Science in accounting or an MBA. It is recommended by alot of schools if you want to sit for the CPA exam to go and get the masters degree. Actually there was recently(like with in the last three days) a discussion about this in this thread: http://forums.degreeinfo.com/showthread.php?threadid=23073
Thanks for all feedback! I have already got a MBA which does not have enough accounting subjects for aicpa exams. Since all my degrees are foreign, I have my credential evaluated with more than 150 credit hours. But I am in short of 12 - 15 upper/lower accounting hours to meet certain states education requirement to sit for the exam. I am now working around in some asia countries. Any suggestions for making up the accounting credit hours?

Good suggestion Vincey37! I am going to grab these 6 credits first. But I have to check whether the state accounting board accept CLEP as the educational requirement. Thanks!
