You can take the credits through a community college and still pass the exam. I think UCLA Extention offers classes online that count towards the CPA at approx $600 for a 4 credit (qtrs) class. If you really want a masters, and need to do it online, there are plenty of state schools that offer them.

Do you want the degree or are you just looking to get the credits for the CPA? Since you have a full time job it doesn't sound like you need the on-campus recruiting. Honestly, no one cares about the MACC if you have a CPA.

Hi Boise,

I wish I could have read your comment earlier. I am in
the process of enrolling into Keller. I already paid for
the application fee ($50) and evaluation for my degree
($115). It is not too late to opt out, I guess.

You said in your post that there are much better
options: what are they? I am working in HR, having a non-
accounting degree in another country, and want to change
my career. I have completed several accounting classes at
community college level. Do you think I can obtain enough
units this way and take prep courses to sit for CPA exam?
Or should I go get my MAcc and then CPA? You know, the
problem getting admitted into other good schools is that
they require very high GMAT scores, which is time-
consuming as well. I have a full time job, 2 kids, and a
house to take care of. So Keller seems to accomodate my
needs except that it is not a good school. I live in San
Jose, CA. I do not know what other better options for
me.

So I really do not know what to do. Pls could you
advise?

Thank you.

Do not go to Keller. If you can go to San Jose State and
do their MSA program. Go to Golden Gate University if
you need to do courses online. GGU is well respected in
the field of accounting even though it is not AACSB
accredited.

Thank you for your advice. I tried SJSU but my GMAT score does not meet their requirements. The only problem to those universities is that they requir GMAT, and it takes a year to get really good score. Do you think community colleges like Foothill college or Deanza College is good for those accounting classes (for the credit purpose)? Thank you.

Thanks, RockyCali. I checked the GGU website and it seems a perfect choice for me.
