    Hi guys,

    I’m need need of lots of feedback. I have an AA in accounting and half of the BA in accounting course. FL requires a bachelors degree and a total of 150 credits. I’ve exhausted my financial aid and federal loans by going to super expensive school, plus I have $30k in personal loans. I thought this was the best route for me since I have 4 kids and was the sole provider for my family (don’t get me started on my regrets). So, I transferred to a state university and after being accepted and enrolled in my 1st course, I find out that the school of business wants to a syllabi for every accounting and business course for evaluation. I don’t have the syllabus. I reached out to the school and the dean told me to get it from the professors. I was only able to get one syllabi. The other professors no longer work at the school or don’t have access to the old school platform to get the syllabus. The university I applied to said I either provide the syllabus or retake the courses. So… I’m $100k in debt & can’t finish my degree without doing almost 3 years over.

    I’m trying to find a school that will accept my credits from Keiser University and that is low cost so I can finish the BA degree with them and then try to CLEP out of the other 30 credits.

    I would like for the school to have an accreditation accepted by the state.. if not I have to take graduate courses at an accredited school.

    The Board accepts degrees from schools accredited by the following associations:

    Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools
    New England Association of Schools and Colleges
    North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools
    Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges
    Southern Association of Colleges and Schools
    Western Association of Schools and Colleges
    Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB)
    Association of Independent Schools
    and Colleges who are regulated by the Commission of Independent Education, and Canadian, Mexican, Irish, and Australian academic accounting programs approved by the provincial educational bodies or the equivalent educational accreditation body for that country.

    Applicants who have graduated from a non-accredited school may still qualify to sit for the CPA examination. The candidate must take 15 semester hours of graduate classes from an accredited institution. The 15 semester hours must include at least nine hours of graduate level accounting courses to include three semester hours of graduate tax.
