BA Accounting Degree Plan
Here is a Degree plan for the University of Maine at Presque Isle (UMPI) as of approximately June of 2022. Please make sure that the suggestions are still valid before beginning to follow this plan.
Credit to DegreeForum members ss20ts, ashkir, and others for making it possible to plan alt credits for degrees at UMPI.
The alternative credit courses were handpicked using experience from previous students as to what courses will be the easiest and quickest courses to take. In places with multiple courses listed, the first course is assumed to be the fastest/easiest course to take.
CPA License Requirements
- Most states require a CPA license with a total of 150 college credits
- There may be some RA requirements for business or accounting courses
- Check with your state licensing board to see all requirements before making a degree plan
Requirements for UMPI
- 30 credits worth of courses must be completed with UMPI
- Students must take most of the UL concentration courses at UMPI.
Tips on Order in Which to Complete Courses
Start with Sophia.org. Unfortunately, Sophia only allows 2 courses open at one time, so do only one course at a time that has touchstones (written assignments). Once done with Sophia, do Instantcert. Finally do Study.com
How Long Will It Take To Complete This Degree Once I Finish All the Alterative Credits?
How long to complete depends on various factors such as experience, time commitment, the efficiency of studying, etc. However, considering you spend at least 20 hours a week on your studies, completing this degree could take 1-2 sessions @ a cost of $1400 tuition per session.
How the General Education Curriculum Works
The GEC of UMPI is one of the most complex and hardest to understand of any college.
Some key things to keep in mind
- You need at least one course to meet each objective
- One course can meet multiple objectives
- You need 40 unique credit hours worth of courses
Source of Credit
This degree plan was made using these sources to map out all the alternative credits.
- UMPI GEC requirements
- Sophia.org Equivalency List
- Study.com Official Transfer Guide
- Sophia, Study.com, and Instantcert are the course providers recommended in this degree plan
