    My first semester after core classes, I took a line up similar...mine was .NET Programming, Database Management with SQL, and Intro to WebDev, along with an elective.

    It kicked my butt, that much I'll tell you. I'd been exposed to programming before, though. I'd written programs in BASIC, VBA, and wrote some basic web apps in PHP, using SQL. Even with all of that, it was an exhausting semester.

    All that said, it depends on how well you learn. I still managed to get an A in every course, but it was a lot of work. If you are also working more than 20 hours or so a week, I'd cut back on either working or throw an easy class in there (I took photoshop in my next hard semester...it was a great stress reliever of a class).

    If you've already taken computer programming, VB and Javascript can be taken together. If you haven't, take that first.

    Accounting has nothing to do with computing, so as long as you have the required math background, you can take it any time. DMS is the basics of databases - not much programming, but you should understand the basics of programming (and probably accounting) first.

    So, yes, you could take them all at the same time, if you had the prerequisites, but I'd take accounting before DMS, and programming before anything but accounting.

    No, i wouldn't waste the money doing that. If you're new to programming, do it one step at a time and get a proper grasp on the concepts. It's easier to learn languages once you've got really good foundations on at least 1.

    visual basic is not hard, javascript might be a little more challenging, i suggest you take visual basic first to get a feel for programming, then learn java
