    question: some states require a minimum of 21 credits in “upper level” accounting. i am trying to figure out exactly what that means…. doesn’t every accounting major take: 2 intermediate (6 credits)+ 2 tax (6 credits) + audit+ cost+advanced= 21 credits. am i missing something?

    AUD: 81
    BEC: 81
    REG: 75
    FAR: 64, 79!! DONE THANK GOD!

    Not everyone has an accounting major. My bachelors is in marketing, so I had to return to school for accounting classes.

    And, every state is different regarding how many, and specifically which, upper level accounting classes are required.

    FAR - 86 - 2/27/14
    AUD - 75 - 5/29/14
    BEC - 80 - 8/31/14
    REG - 89 - 2/27/15
    Praise Jesus! I'm done!!

    I had to take the following:

    2010 – Financial

    2020 – Managerial

    3010 – Cost

    3020 – Income Tax

    3050 – Intermediate 1

    3060 – Intermediate 2 – This was required by the school but considered an elective by the state

    3080 – Intermediate 3

    4200 – Advanced Acct

    4500 – Natural Resource (Oil & Gas Acct) – Elective

    4060 – Auditing

    4070 – Fraud – Elective

    I should have taken Govt/NFP but I couldn't get it in my schedule, I did all of these at night after working all day and took Natural Resources and Intermediate 2 during the summer in 3 weeks.

    Usually upper level means anything beyond principles of accounting 1 & 2 (which I believe are sophmore/freshman leel classes).

    These are usually all the required accounting courses for a Bachelor's of accounting ( minus principles 1 & 2) and any Macc required accounting courses.

    My undergad only covered 2 intermediates, one tax, one cost, AIS, audit, and a capstone class. Adv acc is a grad course in m university.
