2007 Public Accounting Report

<p>Does anyone have/know where I can find the 2007 PAR report ranking the top Accounting undergrad/grad universities?</p>

<p>I tried googling it, but wasn't able to find it. My guess is that it's perhaps not available yet.</p>

<p>I've never seen it in electronic form, but it came out recently. It should be appearing on professors' doors about now.</p>

<p>Are you interested in the ranking of a specific program?</p>

<p>I was interested in the MAcc program rankings that they do. I've seen them online for the past couple of years like on UT-A's website, so I was just wondering if the list was online somewhere.</p>

<p>QS, if you have last year's ranking there isn't much new to be learned from this year's.</p>

<p>There was essentially no change in numbers 1 through 7. Michigan State moved up to 9 displacing UW-Madison, which fell to 13. Florida moved up from 13 to 10, bumping Ohio State to 11. Both ASU and UWa moved up quite a bit to 14 and 15, respectively. Number 16 through 25 are a bit of a jumble, with three newly ranked programs UConn, VaTech, and Boston College joining. The noteworthy drops we Northern Illinois down to 17 from 10 and Alabama down to 21 from 14.</p>

<p>The PAR rankings are based on surveys of accounting professors. They produce some baffling results. In part, they pick up the size of the department and the number of PhD graduates, as there are probably a lot of votes for professors' own departments and those of their alma mater.</p>

<p>make really old school's correction to this.</p>

<p>I would suggest you get your CPA and do not worry about the rankings without your CPA you will not go very far in accounting regardless of where you went to school. I also would not focus on just large schools there are plenty of LAC's who offer accounting degrees and I think you will learn more in a small classroom setting, but that is my opinion not a fact.</p>
