    Yes, I have extensive information about their degree in accounting since I am considering pursuing it as a second bachelor's degree. By the way, Saint Leo offers a BA in accounting, not a BS. And yes, the school has regional accreditation.

    Post any questions you have about the school and its accounting program here and I'll certainly try to answer them for you.

    Me too!

    Do you know yet how many classes you will need from St. Leo to complete the program.

    Will it satisfy the CPA requirements?

    Since my first bachelor's degree was not in business, I'm having to back up and take some extra business classes. I will need about 45 hours to graduate. Saint Leo will accept up to 90 hours as transfer credit and 30 must be earned with the school, at least 15 of which must be in your major. St. Leo also will accept up to 40 hours of CLEP, DANTES, and ECE. St. Leo's college catalog has a list of these exams that it gives credit for. From what I can tell, I can't see the first CLEP/DANTES/ECE exam that is not awarded credit. The school doesn't seem to be too picky in this area.

    Satisfying the requirements for the CPA exam varies from state-to-state. For me, the degree will satisfy the requirements. Some states have what's known as the 150-hour rule, which simply means that you will have to accumulate an additional 30 hours of course work above the bachelor's degree (these credits don't necessarily have to be at the graduate level. Also, some states require at least one year's worth of work experience in either accounting or management to be eligible to sit for the exam.

    You can go to this website to see what the CPA requirements are for your state...
