Hi everyone,

I would like to ask about the 15 semester hours of upper-division accounting courses requirement for Wash. State. To fulfill this, I have taken 16.4 semester units of upper-division accounting courses. However, of these units, there is a course (intermediate accounting I) that was taken twice, in different colleges.

I would like to know if the units of both the times I have taken this course count towards the Accounting Course Requirement needed.

Advice from anyone with information on this for Washington State is highly appreciated. Thank you very much for your help!

I do not know for Washington specifically. However, I have never heard of a state counting credit for the same course (even though taken elsewhere) twice. If you find out that Washington does accept it, definitely be sure to post back here and let everyone know because I am sure others will be very interested in that information (or perhaps someone else will post here knowing that and I'll be surprised now as well! 🙂 ).

I have heard of several states counting things as duplicates that weren't quite (say Intro to Financial Accounting in undergrad and Understanding Financial Accounting in graduate – given that one is a 100 level course and one is a 500 level course, pretty sure the content is different!) and still excluding them, so I know the strict end of the range is quite strict, but highly doubt that Washington – or any other state – will allow the same course to be counted twice, unless just through oversight. But I could be wrong – wouldn't be the first time. 🙂
