I posted this before but I could use some advice. So I passed my CPA exam and while I have my master in accounting I am legit 4 credits short of any upper level accounting classes. Instate tuition for a 4 credit class at a university in my area was $1700. I am looking at community colleges but they don’t have upper level accounting credits (at least none that don’t overlap with what I’ve already taken). If you have any recommendations as far as community colleges anywhere in US please DM me.

Are you working OP? Idk what upper level means but maybe there is a internship course you can signup for. Those are usually 2 credits and require one essay and a letter from your supervisor acknowledging your experience. Take another class you havent taken in accounting and hopefully that should do it.

^^ Exactly what KPMG said. Thats how it works usually.

I mean, if you have all the necessary accounting and business classes, why not just take basket weaving? Take something that will take a minimal amount of effort so you can get that box checked, and all that mental capacity and effort can be plowed into your career.

I think I don’t? I’m short 4 upper level accounting classes in my communication with nasba/board.

Google top ranked accounting community colleges. Reach out to them and ask if you can take classes virtually, which they’ll definitely say yes at this point. Sign up for the two easiest classes you can find.

I think you can use tramsferology to find some CC that offer it (find a instate 4 yr that offers then look at communitcy colleges who offer equivalency)

Can’t answer your question but wondering did they tell you this before you applied (in other words before you applied or was it when you submitted the application)?

So you didn’t know you were short until after you passed all four and submitted your cpa application?

Look at a community college. I got my last 28 credits at a CC and it was hella cheap

Check out Houston Community College

When I interned I found out I was one class short. I ended up taking it online at St Leo university. I’m in FL, this school is also in FL, so I had in state tuition so it wasn’t too expensive. I also know that LSU does online, single, accounting classes

What state are you in

honestly some states will let you get a CPA with a MAcc. Maybe just get one there then transfer it over?
