Hello,

I am looking into obtaining my BS in Accounting with the long-term goal of becoming a CPA. In my search for school, I stumbled across WGU in Utah. They have a great accounting program, and they are regionally and nationally accredited. However, they use a non-standard approach in tracking student progress - so called "competency" units, which can be converted to more common semester units on transcripts, but they do not provide a letter grade. CA Board of Accountantcy said that credits earned at WGU should be acceptable for CPA prerequisite fulfillment since they are accredited. I am still a little apprehensive though because the letter grade and GPA are not used. Is there anybody who graduated from WGU and was able to obtain CPA license or to transfer education credits elsewhere for MBA program?

Thank you!
