Great option for accounting courses - Reasonable price

If you need to get some accounting courses under your belt for a reasonable price, check out this program. I recently completed the economics and accounting graduate certificates here, which was pretty much the best I could do coming from a non-target exercise science major and a previous career coaching travel soccer teams. Yes, after an ACL injury at 25, I decided to see what else was out there. A friend of mine shared this with me haphazardly, but it saved me from going back for a second bachelor's, so I thought I'd pass it on.

To make a long story short:

I started taking these courses 2 years ago, and with a couple of relevant internships and work exp, I've received good feedback from admissions counselors for my MSF applications to DC schools. After close to 50 credits, i earned a 3.6, which was a huge turnaround from my undergrad years, since grades weren't that much of a priority back then.

Graduate Certificate in accounting (in-person, if you live in the DC area)

Don't expect any on-campus recruiting, unless you want to be a government accountant / auditor, but if you need the courses to get ready for grad school, go for it. It helped me get to the next level, so I thought I'd pass this on.
