    There are a lot of different accounting programs that are good.  It might help you narrow things down if you determine what is important.  For instance, are you concerned with cost, location, accreditation, concentrations (tax, audit, forensic, personal, etc...).  Most programs have the pre-requisites that you are referring to, but based on the school, the numbering will be different.  

    Google Scholar is a good resource for academic research.  You should be able to review materials online, but it would help if you knew what you wanted to review.

    Best of luck.

    I'm not sure which accounting classes you are referencing, however there is an open educational resource called OpenStax. They offer free on-line textbooks and have just recently added Financial and Managerial Accounting to their offerings. If you are looking to brush up on basic accounting knowledge this might be a good (and free) option.

    Asset management should clarify which asset group is meant by that term.!
    No problem if we modify the term to a better and specific one. For example, assets should be divided into fixed assets management and working capital asset management Or financial assets and non-financial assets management, for example.

    Regards,

    Just so you know, every college numbers their courses differently.  There is no coordination, even within college districts or college systems.  If you want economy and quality you can often get it at a community college.  Tuition is low and instructors often have lots of experience.  I teach cost accounting, intermediate accounting, advanced accounting, and internal controls at my local community college.  We also have business and individual taxation classes taught by partners in local CPA firms.  We have financial accounting, managerial accounting, ethics, and others.  Check you local community college because offerings differ widely.  The classroom version is best for learning but some will be online as well.
