Am i eligible to do an MS in accounting. Since my long term goal is to become a CPA will an MBA in accounting be better than an MS in accounting.
I have taken just one class in basics of accounting and economics.
With absolutely no coursework in accounting can a computer engineer join a MS or MBA in accounting?

Have you taken a lot of accounting coursework? If not there are masters in accounting programs geared towards you- the one at unc chapel hill comes to mind.
If your goal is the CPA, you may want to check your states licensure requirements. Many states only require a bachelors degree plus 24 credits of accounting coursework to sit for the examination.
Check with the schools that you are considering as many have options for you to begin a Masters program with only a few foundational accounting courses.
