That's correct but if the OP wants to sit for the CPA exam he needs course credit. Taking it for funsies doesn't count.

I should add that I'm almost finished with UVA's accounting certificate program. Some (not all) of the classes are online, and it's very legit - UVA has one of the top accounting programs in the country.

But like I said, you can take it from any accredited institution and it still counts.

MIT also has courses available.

I think the MBA route would be a terrific option. You are the perfect example of who gets a lot of benefit from a MBA. It will cover your general business requirements and expose you to enough accounting that you will find out if you like it.

If you don't like accounting, then there will be other courses that will suit your interest and it will be a natural pivot for you.

Accounting has job security but it also takes a certain type of person to actually enjoy it.
