    His path to graduation should begin with the REA books I think. They are easy reading and have practice tests at the end. They cost little to nothing to acquire and there is no fear of failure. If he can simply pick up the book, read it, and then take the tests, he will be on his way.
    If he can pass the REA tests with 90% then he can pass the CLEP, guaranteed.
    If the man is not motivated enough to read a book and has no job, then there is little help for him.
    If he is too disabled to read a book then its going to be hard to work as an accountant after getting a degree.

    Oh, and, for anyone interested in working on U.S. federal tax issues, the obvious exam to look at, in three parts, is the Special Enrollment Exam to become an Enrolled Agent. I don't know that it would obviate any strong requirement of a degree, but it would certainly show his stuff to the IRS for a job, and open up work outside the IRS.

    nosborne48 on degreediscussion.com, a lawyer with no prior tax law background who took this to build a potential semi-retirement career, and went on to earn an LL.M. in Tax, would be the go-to person around these parts on this.

    Try Clovis community college new Mexico. It was a once a good deal.

    I don't think that qualifies as an accredited business degree :)

    Do you have any helpful suggestions? This person had a look at Nationu. Maybe my suggestion will help others.

    Also there is ALISON that offers free/inexpensive vocational diplomas.
