I would like to know if I should apply for the Accounting grad program at UCF or a second BA in Accounting at Stetson.
I don’t have a BA in Accounting so I can’t apply for the grad program at Stetson. I know UCF has a grad program for students who didn’t major in Accounting. I am 27, married and my husband may be getting a job in St. Augustine so the drive to Stetson would work better but I want to get into a program that offers the best job opportunities. Is Stetson a good place to get recruited for accounting jobs as an undergrad?
Just want to add that we are considering living halfway between the UCF area and St. Augustine if it’s a better option. So I would be driving maybe 45 min to get to school .
The UCF MS in Accounting program basically requires you to take the equivalent of a BS in Accounting (45 credits of foundation courses) as a per-requisite to the 30 credit hour masters program for a total of 75 credit hours.
This seems like a pretty solid option. When I got my BSBA in Accounting from UCF decades ago it took 127 credit hours, which was 67 past the A.A. for me. The MS option skips some of the basic business classes, but none of the Accounting ones so you can get a strong accounting education without needing to take the Management and Marketing classes required in the BS.
One concern, this seems like a very rigorous program. All very challenging classes without the fluff of a Marketing or Management class thrown in here or there.
what are the chances of getting in with a third round application?
I have a 3.0 gpa and aiming for a GMAT score over 550.
