What are the general education credit requirments to get a AAS degree in accounting ? What class ?

i'm thinking of persuing a Degree in accounting, im' 30, haven't taken any college courses so i'm just tring to get idea what I would have to go through. any info on the type of classes i would need for the general credits would be great ? I'm all for getting a education even at my age but am nervous about talking a ton of generals. I found lists of classes for the accounting stuff but nothing on generals that would be needed. Thanks for any information.

It may depend somewhat on where you are.

I know the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) requires fifteen hours of general education courses for an AAS degree, with three hours in the social sciences, three hours in math/science, and three hours in humanities/fine arts.

I would guess that the other regional accrediting agencies would have similar guidelines--and most junior/community/technical colleges are going to interpret those pretty much the same (although they may have slightly different course offerings) within each region.

Western Governors University has a BS program in Accounting. As you look through their website in business programs you can get further information. A lot of the general education requirements are similar for an associate as for a bachelors. The real differences are in the upper level courses. As you look through the class informaiton, you should be able to get a general idea.
