CPA ELIGIBILITY- Is LSU independent study accounting certificate good enough for CPA?

I have a 4 year bachelors degree in finance and information systems with an associates in religion studies a total of 153 credits. I have the work experience. I have now begun to take online courses at LSU to fulfill the accounting course requirements:

* ACCT 3121-Cost Analysis and Control
* ACCT 3221-Income Tax Accounting I
* ACCT 3222-Auditing
* ACCT 4022-Advanced Accounting
* ACCT 4235-Forensic Accounting

My question is am I eligible? I did not take these accounting courses during my undergraduate degree but am taking them now as part of a certificate program…nor am I doing a masters because I feel I already have the 150 credit requirement…I have called a few accounting organizations and asked if LSU is accredited which they can’t clarify..

Please let me know if I am doing the right thing
YES it is Louisiana State University….i have called the NJ accountancy board 5 times and they still don’t know if it is eligible…..I asked an LSU counselor and they said that they are accredited for distance learning…
After taking their online courses can I sit for the CPA…..given I have all the other requirements met.
Thank you for all your answers!
