Should I retake ACCT undergrad Courses or go straight to MASTERS accounting? (Already have Degree in Business)

I graduated in degree Business – Marketing with Bachelors Degree. Now I want to do Accounting (Auditor) but get the CPA cert, I need so many units of accounting. The only Accounting courses I have is Financial & Managerial Accounting (req. for all business majors).

. Should I go back and retake undergrad accounting courses (ex. intermediate acct, adv. acct, taxation, auditing, acct info systems,etc) or will a school accept me to go straight to a MASTERS in accounting program? Im little nervous entering MASTERS because I have almost-none exp. in accounting courses. I am sooo confused right now and the closest university here is closed for summer.

Your best bet is to talk to someone in the Accounting dept at the school where you want to apply – that’s what I did. I had a Bachelors degree in Finance when I went back to school for Accounting. I was accepted into the Master of Accounting program on the condition that I take several core Accounting classes that would not count towards the masters degree (but they DID count towards CPA requirement). Bottom line, I was accepted into the Master of Accounting program right away, but I had to take about 5 more courses than the other Master of Accounting students.

Good luck!

good question…..I’d recommend going for your Master’s if possible because you may kill two birds with one stone so to speak (getting a master’s and qualifying credit-wise for the cpa exam) but its your choice.

I’m still trying to decide what to do myself-I have a BSc in Accounting but need just a few more credits to qualify…but at the same time I want to take more Accounting courses but can’t since I’ve already taken all of the undergrad accounting courses…so the only thing that’s left is to try and get a master’s. (which is also a fun task as well) ugh.

Good luck with whatever you decide!!!!
