Being in accounting I can tell you that yes it would really help to have a class in it. However, I have met quite a few programmers who hated accounting. I do not know your point about going into university, what is the point of doing it period? Is it worth paying $3000 for free printing or maybe the library space?

Are you trying to be self-sufficient in everything?

I'm not actually a programmer (I'm teaching myself how to program). I'm much more interested in business than your average programmer, so accounting might not be too boring.

The reasons for enrolling are Internet, printing, workspace, and to keep the university job I currently have. I'm not entirely sure I will be taking a course, but I'd like to investigate all the options first.
