    I have completed 144 units and would like to complete my degree in Accounting. I keep reading here about the big 3, but what makes them the big 3 and why? They don't seem to have the standard accreditation.

    I need to get a Bachelor's under my belt quickly, after which, I'd like to explore other options.

    Is it possible to transfer my current completed units to multiple colleges and get multiple degrees from different colleges?

    Thanks.

    How many accounting courses have you already completed? Accounting is a subject that you can't just zip through. An option you might want to consider (if you currently don't have very many accounting credits) is to complete an undergrad degree from one of the Big 3 in business. You can then earn a graduate degree in accounting through St. Joseph's College of Maine. Their graduate accounting program is designed for those who have an undergrad degree in business, but not necessarily accounting.

    Each of the "Big 3" hold regional accreditation, which is the "standard accreditation" in the United States.

    I have a test out plan for TESC's BSBA in accounting.

    The Big 3 are different in that they technically don't have residency requirements. They only require that 0-6 credits be taken in residence while just about every other school will have a 25% requirement. The Big 3 also have very liberal policies concerning nontraditional credits.
