Taking accounting in high school will help with accounting at IU, but won’t transfer any credits. For accounting, you need 150 credit hours to sit for the CPA exam, which is basically a requirement to be hired at an accounting firm. That means you either need to bring in roughly 30 credits from high school to do it in 4 years. Kelley also has programs that offer an extra year and a graduate degree.
This 150 credit requirement basically means that any AP credits are very helpful, even if they don’t satisfy requirements. See the google doc below. Starting on page 3, I talk about class requirements. I think this will be helpful, but let me know if you have any other questions. Just delete the space in the “google” part of the URL and copy and paste into your browser.
