I think Oxygen hit it on the head - you need to make sure your school will give credit for at least two classes if you take AB and BC. There is no way any accounting board is going to allow 10 hours for one class.

Planning your route to 150 is smart and its good you know that repeat classes won’t count with the State Board of Accountancy. Just remember that many states now have their own “unique” requirements regarding the number and type of accounting and business courses that must be included in the 150. In these states extra accounting classes over and above the requirements for your BBA must be taken - AP hours alone will not meet the requirement. (Most BBA programs include 24 accounting hours, some states now require 30-36 accounting hours.) In some states, the number and type of general business classes are also specified.

Be sure and check your your state board. This may or may not apply to you depending upon your state.

Good luck.
