I applied to them. But after seeing what my bill would be, I decided it wasn't worth it. I'm happier doing what I'm doing now.

Just curious, how much was it? Was it any cheaper for Florida residents? Stetson may be a better option.

If I'm remembering correctly, it was $13,500/yr. It is very expensive and it doesn't matter whether you're a FL resident or not. I'm a Florida resident and that's what I was quoted.

I have a minor in forensic accounting. It was only four extra classes: Evidence Law, White Collar Crime, and Forensic Accounting 1 and 2. They were all really interesting! I love white collar crime and fraud investigation. I'm not sure exactly how to get into the field though. I know it helps to be a Certified Fraud Examiner. But to be able to take the CFE exam you have to have 2 years of audit experience.

I was quoted 45k for the FAU online program, and 22k for Stetson (total price for FAU, not sure that includes books at Stetson). Stetson does not have the videos of the professor's lectures though to my knowledge. I am not a FL resident.

$45,000??? Well I guess they do have different rates for non-Florida residents. I was quoted about $27,000.

I looked back at my email and it says 4500 per course for nonresidents and 3500 per course for residents (includes all books and fees) for the on-line forensic accounting program.
