TL;DR —Thanks in advance if you read and reply!

Not strictly a data science post but is data science related and need advice on data science degree.

I am 31 y/o, went back to school recently, and is currently finishing up my second year of BCIS(Bachelor of Computer Information Systems), but am trying to decide if I want to/should even get the full BCIS degree or not. I wanted to do accounting/finance but wanted tech knowledge too so went BCIS with the idea of using all my business options & electives to take as many accounting classes as possible than switch to business for 1 year to finish remaining CPA prerequisites and get BBA Accounting degree. I am trying to decide now though if I should continue with that plan or not. Here is what I’m trying to decide between, hoping to get input from people:

—((1)) Stay on the path listed above (50 courses total & 5years school, then the 30 months for CPA PEP). Finish with both BCIS & Accounting BBA degrees. *BCIS has a mandatory non-credit 4 month work term co-op as a graduation requirement.*

—((2)) Accept offer to transfer to Bachelor of Science in Data Science w/ concentration in Finance, at same school. Would take me 42 courses to graduate instead of 40 and then would need to complete 10 missing CPA prerequisites for 52 total courses, so 5.5-6 years total and then could start the 30month CPA PEP. *BS in Data Science also has a mandatory 4 month work term co-op as a graduation requirement but it is for credit. Would make it 51 actual courses completed instead of 52.*

—((3)) Accept offer to transfer to Accounting program at same school and finish in the standard 4 years w/ 120 credits (from Canada, don’t need 150 credits only need 120 to start CPA program). Come out with Accounting BBA degree & BCIS minor.

—((4)) Accounting & Finance double major. Would take 42 total courses, 44 to still have all CPA prerequisites completed (4.5 years total then start CPA PEP).

—((5)) Either one of option 3 or 4 and then doing a post bachelors certificate or diploma in data science/analytics/Machine Learning/AI. Or even just self study along with a portfolio by completing online certifications from IBM, Microsoft and Google during or after CPA.

*Would finish with a BCIS minor in any scenario as I have already completed the necessary courses for that.

Any advice or opinions would be appreciated!
