With only a Master's degree, I don't think you could teach anywhere except for a community college.

Help choose online College for Accounting?

We Answered:

Everyone and his brother is teaching online these days. Your choices are many and may include your local community college.

There are a lot of options for you. Just have to look in the right place. I like the search tool at Petersons for finding such things.
http://www.petersons.com/distancelearnin… returns three pages of options including a large group of public community colleges such as Ann Arrundel in Maryland. Montgomery CCC in Pa., Northern Va. CC in Va., Randolph CC in NC, Seminole CC in Fla., etc... and a few 4-years.

I'd suggest you not pick one of the for-profits (Colo Tech, Phoenix, Axia, AIU, etc...). My reasoning is simply that they cost too much. A public community college is the way to go for this degree. Your own state community college may be the best route but some states now allow all online students to pay in-state tuition. New Mexico is an example. And their in-state may be lower than your state.

An AS in Accounting doesn't prepare a professional accountant. It prepares bookkeepers, accounting clerks, tax preparers, accounting assistants, and such. If you will later want a bachelor's degree then make sure your associates degree is not an Associate of Applied Science. The AAS doesn't transfer well. An AS is the way to go on this one.

Also make certain that the school you pick is regionally accredited. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regional_ac… At the associates level, not much else matters. If it's not regionally accredited then it won't likely transfer later.

If you keep the option of furthering your education open by only attending reputable schools and performing well; an AS in Accounting is a pretty good degree to have. Every business in the US has to count the money and every worker in the US has to pay taxes. There will be no end to the profession of accounting.

If you want to be the most employable when you finish, make sure you learn about computerized accounting (Peachtree, Quickbooks, etc...), Medical Insurance Coding and Billing (may require a few extra classes but is worth it since it opens the door to a lot of jobs), and Income Tax (because you can always do people's taxes in the season for a bunch of extra cash).

Since you're an accounting/math sort of person - take a class or two in Microsoft Excel and then the MCAS exam for Excel. Good Excel solution providers are hard to find. Excel will do some really advanced stuff if you know how and businesses need people to know how.

Online accounting college???

We Answered:

I hope not.

Education is standardised in the UK. This means that if you have a degree or a qualification you have had to pass the same criteria in a taught university as an on-line university.

Accountancy is one of the subjects one can do on line so many colleges opt for online. This is done for purely practical purposes - to alleviate the pressure on colleges.

I think you should relax about this.
