a_mom, yes I’m on track to pass the CPA exam before 2014, it’s a top priority because I don’t want to have to take those extra additional units. I just finished my Junior year so the plan is to (if I hopefully get a full-time offer after my internship) push back my start date to January, 2013 instead of September, 2012 and use those extra 3 months to take at least 2, hopefully 3 of the 4 CPA exam section because I will need to take some additional community college classes to get to 225 units (UCLA is on quarters units). Then all I’d need is to pass 1 or 2 sections in 2013.

UCLA’s minor may as well be a major - you need 9 accounting courses to fulfill it, in addition to 2 Econ courses and 2 calculus courses, and nothing stops you from taking more electives. It prepares you for the CPA exam, which is what any accounting concentration/major should do.

Collegebound, I will bet you the Big 4 and most locals/midtiers consider UCLA’s accounting MINOR much more prestigious than 95% of the accounting MAJORS out there.
