<p>Is it feasible to take 18 credit hours in upper-level business/accounting classes your last semester at school?</p>
<p>This is what the schedule would entail:</p>
<p>Policy
Taxation of Business Entities
Advanced Financial Accounting
Auditing
Group Dynamics in Organizations
Management of Info Technology</p>
<p>So, I would have 3 upper-level accounting courses as well as the remaining business requirements (3 classes). I'm an accounting major. </p>
<p>Is it feasible...? Unrealistic to finish my school off with that? I'm already a year and a half behind everyone else, I would hate to go to school for one more semester after that because I had 1 class left to graduate...that would suck, and push me back even further behind everyone else. (I'm so far behind because I took some time off school to work after HS.)</p>
<p>Opinions? The most classes I have taken in a semester is 14 credit hours because I've worked during school P/T between 20-35 hours per week...so it would be a little different...and not to mention the fact that they're upper-level...</p>
<p>most of the courses are the so call BS courses, I find it hard to believe you have trouble handling such easy courseload. Group dynamics, management? Come on. Just thank god you're not doing Time Series analysis, Advance Econometrics, Real Analysis, Differenetial Topology, Stochastic Processes. Any one of those are harder than handling all those courses you have combined. And don't make fun of me that these are useless courses since those will prepare you much better in the business world than anything you see in a business education.</p>
<p>So you think your stuff is hard? Maybe you're an accounting major, I don't know. Oh wait, you are, no wonder.</p>
<p>I don't know man...I'm just worried that the 3 accounting courses could pose trouble combined with the 3 business classes.. When I say upper-level, I just mean the fact that they're only available to seniors. I know that they're not SUPER difficult, the business courses are easy compared to the accounting courses, but them combined is what I'm worried about.</p>
<p>Yes, I'm an accounting major. </p>
<p>I don't take your posts seriously, I know you are sarcastic; in your non sarcastic opinion, do you think I could do it?</p>
<p>Advanced Financial Accounting is going to be tough, whether anyone wants to admit that or not.</p>
<p>Taxation and Advanced Accounting will be your tougher courses in the classes you've listed above. You should be fine. Auditing course is not hard, and the others are jokes. Also abcboy is not intelligent at all, hes a dumb ass struggling in his engineering or whatever major because he lacks intelligence. But picking the major automatically makes him smarter than us Accounting majors. Haha what a child. Have fun being poor kid.</p>
<p>Thanks both of you for your "real" responses, I really appreciate it.</p>
<p>Yeah, Dawgie, I didn't know if Auditing would be really time-consuming with a lot of studying like in Intermediate accounting? I'm not worried about the business classes, like you mentioned, they're cake compared to advanced financial/tax of bus. entities.</p>
<p>I think you know the answer more than all of us. Engineers frequently take 18 units of mostly science/engineering courses. To most engineers, the #units is not really anything out of ordinary. I got the best grades in my life when I was taking 5 classes in one quarter (probably equivalent to 21 units in a semester) because I was determined to be disciplined (such as not going to college confidential..:)). The question is really if you are commited to sacrifice some fun and nobody knows the answer more than you do.</p>
<p>Thanks very much for that Sam Lee. I know I could commit myself to the work; I just didn't want my GPA to suffer at the expense of me not wanting to go another semester.</p>
<p>I'm not a genius like most CCer's, my GPA is average, about 3.44 overall and 3.54 major, so that's also something I'm trying to take into consideration. Sure, if I was a 2100+ person on the SAT, I probably wouldn't think about it!</p>
<p>Thanks again Dawgie...I appreciate your responses, too. I really don't know what Auditing will entail; I mean I know what auditing is at accounting firms, or the gist of it, but not really what the class will teach or consist of.</p>
<p>Again, many thanks for the replies. I sincerely appreciate it.</p>
<p>If finance isn't a huge issue, then take the load you are comfortable with. You know more than I do but my guess is it's not hard to find an accounting job these days. I have a good friend as an accountant and I also took an accounting class recently. Some companies hire people that are working on their degrees and so I'd think the decent GPA you have now should be enough to get you a job while you still have a class left; if one of your classes is offered at night, then you can work full-time while finishing that last one.</p>
