<p>So I'm starting community college this summer at Chabot in California. I plan to become a CPA. My goal is to transfer to either UCB, UCLA, USC, SCU, UCI or UCSB. I have picked all my transferable classes that I will take at CC, these fulfil all my prerequisites as well. </p>
<p>My question is, should I take non-transferable business classes while I am at CC? Out of the 55 business courses offered, 4 are transferable (these 4 are a part of prereq). The other 51 course are for CSU only. My thought is that it would be beneficial to work towards the 150 units required to sit for the CPA exam. I feel the classes would be great for some what of a stepping stone as well. I would take about 30 extra units on top of the 60 units that is required.</p>
<p>Would taking these courses negatively affect me in anyway? Like during admissions to the universities.</p>
<p>I appreciate and look forward to reading all responses. Thank you.</p>
<p>Be careful not to take two classes that are too similar in content. </p>
<p>In my state, if you take, for instance, the equivalent of Intermediate Accounting I at two different schools, you would only be able to apply the credits from one of the classes to the 150 credits required to sit for the cpa exam. Courses with similar content count only once toward the 150 credit minimum probably in a lot of states. You don’t want to apply to take the cpa if you have 150 credits but your state board of accountancy evaluates your transcripts and tells you that you have only 141 that can be applied to the cpa exam requirements because three of the three-credit classes you took at cc were too similar to the ones you took at the university you got your bachelor’s degree from.</p>

<p>“College courses with substantial duplication of content may be counted only one time toward the requirements.”</p>
