Question

can anyone explain what exactly 24 semester unit means???? what no. of courses does it make up to???does it make 24 courses or less?? thanks.

Answer 1

'Semester Units' means college hours of accounting courses. As most courses are 3 hour classes, that means you need to have at least 8 classes in accounting/business.

Accounting classes can include: Acct I, Acct II, Cost/Managerial Acct, Tax I, Tax II, Audit, etc.

Business classes can include: Finance, Business Statistics, Business Policy, Business Law, etc.
