I wish Taylor the very best.
What I will say is that the CPA exam is not easy, by any stretch of the imagination. While it isn't terribly difficult, it is very content heavy and does require you to cover much more than the basic principles you would get by way of a major in business administration. I'd go a step further and say that even those that majored in Accounting from a well-ranked,undergraduate, Ivy-league business school would have a hard time.
An MBA in accounting would be a huge help, so if you truly wanted to go the MBA route and would like to get the CPA, consider getting an MBA in accounting. Remember that the CPA exam is a very long exam (14 hours in length) and has 4 parts (REG, AUD, BUS & FAR).
I would recommend you work on getting into a review course prior to even pretending to sit for it, consider the Becker or Yeager CPA review courses as they are some of the better, if not best, courses available. A large percentage of test takers fail the financial reporting and business sections and require much remedial work just to get a passing grade in those sections.
Best of luck Taylor...
