$12K per year to obtain an MBA and CPA in 30mo while being able to work 40 hours a week the whole time (and have a spouse and children) is not that outrageously expensive to me, thoughts anyone? 

Also, Keller is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC,) just not AACSB, and again this is irrelevant if one passes the CPA and holds a graduate level degree.

Sure, Big 4 Firms do not recruit to Keller, but how much more attainable is a Big 4 Internship from a brick and mortar school?  Even 3.5+ GPA students from highly regarded brick/mortar schools, who are actively involved in accounting groups, etc. have under a 10% chance to attain this.  (lol.)

My current instructor attended Keller's MBA program, graduated last year, passed *all* parts of the CPA on the first attempt with high scores after taking Becker.  Oh yeah, he studied for the CPA working 40 hours a week the whole time and now has a high paying accounting position for a huge company.  Personally, I think that speaks volumes about real world career preparedness from Keller, but people can choose to believe whatever they want.

For example:  Take an MBA graduate from any random online accredited school who passes all four parts of the CPA in the first attempt, and for example, was at the very bottom of their class in all accounting classes, what would you call that individual?... An MBA Accountant who passed all for parts of the CPA in the first attempt.

Since we are all here to obtain CPAs, this really is a rather useless argument.  If we were talking MBA degree only, the subject matter would differ greatly, in my eyes.

Don't you think that employers recognize that if someone passes the CPA, then clearly they put the time and hard work in, regardless of which school they attended?

LOL

Absolutely!  I could not agree more.  The level of education so far that I am receiving at Keller is exceeding that of most all my undergraduate courses at the University of WA Seattle.

I could not have said it better!

Furthermore, whether or not a school is AACSB accredited is totally irrelevant when you are comparing two students with both MBAs and CPAs.  Don't you think that employers recognize that if someone passes the CPA, then clearly they put the time and hard work in, regardless of which school they attended?

LOL
