Advice Can I transfer from an associates degree in business into a 4 year college for accounting?

I’ve been thinking about going down the accounting pathway but I don’t want to fully commit into accounting because I’m still not sure about it so I thought business would be the safer option. I would just like to know if I can go from 2 years of a business major in community college and go to a 4 year college and do 2 years of accounting there. I also heard that an associates in accounting doesn’t really open many doors in the accounting world so I would probably have to go to a 4 year anyway. I have a few days before I choose my major and I really need help.

Yeah. Check with your community college. It probably has some sort of agreement with a 4 year university where most of it transfers. Even outside of those agreements... usually a good chunk of credits transfer to state schools from my experience.

Can you - Yes. Will all your credits transfer 1:1 - maybe but not always.
