Related: About this forumDoes anyone have experience with online college courses
like through Coursera? My niece, who is 30, is finally tired of the shitty jobs she gets with just her high school diploma. She's very sharp and wants to study accounting, specifically forensic accounting.
She is estranged from both parents, who divorced when she was very young.

(18,769 posts)1. She'll need to become a CPA and the rules for that vary
for each state. So shell need to check with the state where she will want to work.

but the University of Phoenix can.
I did UOP, waste of money. should have gone to the community college, which is well rated, and got the same classes.
UOP was not BS/Bus Mgt level of work, it was at CC or HS level.
