Are there any online public schools in Texas where I can get an associate or bachelors degree in accounting?

We Answered:

Texas was nice enough to put the lists of many of their online programs on one web page for us so they'd be easy to find.

Peterson's gives us a good list of accounting bachelor's online but none are in Texas.

Remember though, many online programs don't charge out of state tuition. Georgia, for example, has an 'ERate' for tuition that allows out of state students to take online courses at the in-state rate.

Texas is also a member of the Southern Regional Education Board (Academic Common Market) which allows students to pay in-state at member colleges for many programs.

What is the best website for online bachelor degree in accounting?

We Answered:

if you are looking to take classes online to get a bachelors degree then I dont think college is for you. In addition, the accounting field is very difficult and it would be best if you learned about it in person. I would enroll in a real university if I were you. Plus, it will look better on your resume when you apply for jobs. Online bachelors degree=lazy! and employers will see that.

online accounting degree?

We Answered:

Many colleges and universities offer courses either online or by DVD/correspondence. Check with the schools you would like to attend and see what they offer.

Other than places like University of Phoenix and the other schools that charge an outrageous amount for tuition, it isn't so easy to earn your entire degree online, in ANYthing. The two state universities in my area offer maybe 12 hours out of the 30 hours required for an accounting degree. They offer a few of the lower level business courses, but almost none of the upper level courses. Sometimes they'll offer the first semester of a 2-semester sequence online, then only offer the second semester on campus.

Before you jump on the vocational/technical/community college bandwagon, have another look at your career goals. If you want to become a CPA, you have to have a bachelor's degree with 30 or more hours of accounting. If you already have a bachelor's in some other field, the 30 hours of accounting at a community college MIGHT satisfy your state's accountancy board so that you can eventually sit for the CPA exam. If you're going for your first-ever bachelor's degree, you'll usually find that only your first 2 accounting courses are considered equivalent to a course at a 4-year college. So if you get an associate degree in accounting and try to transfer to a 4-year school to finish a bachelor's, as much as 24 of your 30 hours of accounting will be thrown out and you'll have to retake the classes.

I've been looking for an online accounting degree for a long time, because I'm just not interested in fighting the parking hassles at the schools around here. Like I said, the state schools offer some of the classes but not everything. The online schools that do offer everything cost more than 4 times what my local universities charge. My employer doesn't pay any of it and right now, I can't afford to shell out $1500 for ONE class.
