Does anyone know what colleges (specifically in CA) offer programs designed for people, who have a non accounting Bachelors degree, to sit for the CPA exam?

I know Santa Monica City College has the curriculum to prepares Bachelor holders to sit the exam.

Any other colleges?

There's Golden Gate University in San Francisco, which is pretty
expensive.

I think you can get the right preparation at a cheaper school. If you
already have an undergrad degree outside of Acctg, you just need a
certain amount of classes in accounting and economics to sit for the CPA.

A teacher told me to just get a basic understanding of the fundamentals
in Accounting and then take a prep course, and that should be enough.

So far I think he's right, as I've done well enough in the 2 sections I've sat
for (REG, AUD), while having an ECON/SOCIOLOGY degree, and taking a
few classes in accounting after it.

Roger CPA is a good prep course.
