I'm currently enrolled in one of the local community colleges. I've mainly been working on my "generals".

During the fall semester, I took Macro Econ and Public Speaking. This semester I'm taking Principles of Management, Principles of Accounting, Micro Econ, and Sociology. My end goal is to transfer to a four year university to get my BS in accounting, however due to my current job situation, it would be VERY beneficial for me to get an AAS in management. It has most of the same courses as the AS in accounting.

I'm just wondering if I got my AAS in management, would I still be able to use most of those general courses to get my BS in Accounting and just take the few courses that were different, if that makes sense? I apologize if this sounds like a stupid question. I'm the first one to go to college in my family and I have nobody else to ask these things :/

Of course. The only classes you need to take prior to your junior year for accounting majors are:

1) calculus or calculus for social scientists (or something similar); 2) statistics or statistical math (I took two of these classes-they are very helpful if you every want to do academic oriented research); 3) some sort of computer class that involves working with spreadsheets and basic databases (or if you have experience with them); 3) and introductory or basic accounting I and II.

If you are missing any of those, you just do them in summer (at community college or the 4 yr school) prior to the start of your junior year.

This is done all the time. I started as a marketing major and switched later to accounting.
