Which classes are best for the CPA exam

Hi All. Changing occupations after a company layoff. I would like to get a masters in acounting and a CPA. It seems to be a growing field in the Southeast, and I don't see to many problems with age discrimination. My masters could take a fw years, as I go back and get all the pre requisites before I even start on the graduate work. But to sit for the CPA exam, I just need 10 accounting classes along with the un associated bachelors degree I have. So - 20 years ago I took 2 semesters of accounting, a federal tax course and a business law course. I need 6 more.



My question is : of all the accounting classes offered, what 6 classes would you recommend in order to have the best background for the CPA exam?



Thanks for your time



they prob have to be "specialized accounting" classes...so.... i would say auditing, tax, cost, it or computer systems...select both basic and advanced in each area and you will be off to a good start...oh yea, managerial accounting as well...
