So I’m starting community college this summer at Chabot in California. I plan to become a CPA. My goal is to transfer to either UCB, UCLA, USC, SCU, UCI or UCSB. I have picked all my transferable classes that I will take at CC, these fulfil all my prerequisites as well.

My question is, should I take non-transferable business classes while I am at CC? Out of the 55 business courses offered, 4 are transferable (these 4 are a part of prereq). The other 51 course are for CSU only. My thought is that it would be beneficial to work towards the 150 units required to sit for the CPA exam. I feel the classes would be great for some what of a stepping stone as well. I would take about 30 extra units on top of the 60 units that is required.

Would taking these courses negatively affect me in anyway? Like during admissions to the universities.

I appreciate and look forward to reading all responses. Thank you.
