<p>Which of these schools is best for accounting and will offer good financial aid?
Which one also has good career placement and internship opportunities? As in sending grads to the Big 4 or good paying accounting positions? Which one has good CPA passing rate?</p>

<p>Loyola Marymount
Chapman
University of San Diego
Santa Clara University
University of San Francisco</p>

<p>Any other suggestions for good accounting schools in/out of California? Needs to have good internship opportunities and career placement, and possibly good financial aid would be helpful. Public univerisites in California are good, but budget cuts make it a little bit of an issue.
Btw I'm a transfer I know the financial aid will be hard to find, but list your thoughts anyways</p>

<p>Not sure abou the financial aid part but caly poly has a pretty good accounting. Santa Clara and berkely both have great accounting programs.</p>

<p>Definitely Santa Clara from those lists. A bunch of people I know interned at various Big 4s in San Jose and San Francisco. It’s especially pretty heavily recruited for San Jose.</p>

<p>Is anyone able to speak for LMU or Chapman?
In terms of job placement do these privates do a lot better of a job placing you into big companies, not huge ones at the least, but good positons?
I really want to attend a school that almost has a 100 percent guaranteed seal of getting me a job lined up before graduation or a few months after through their career placement.</p>

<p>There is no such thing as 100% guaranteed “seal” of getting you a job. The biggest hurdle isn’t the school. The biggest hurdle is being able to sell yourself.</p>

<p>California College San Diego offers both online and on-campus courses in accounting. There’s one with an emphasis in forensic accounting. The duration is 36 months but you can complete the program in as little as 30 months. I’m not sure about the financial aids but most college have grants or aid program that you can apply for, if you qualify. All I know is that as far as [accounting</a> degree programs in California](<a href=“http://www.cc-sd.edu/business/bachelors/accounting]accounting”>http://www.cc-sd.edu/business/bachelors/accounting) go, this one is pretty much worth it.</p>
