College Search & Selection

<p>I know a nice young woman, 16, who is an A student, very good work ethic (helped me with childcare/errands) who loves math, history and English and would like to be an accountant. She only likes small schools though, more LAC type environments and I wondered if anyone had any suggestions in the northeast of places to look. Our state school has a good program but is very large. She is also first-generation and bi-racial if that mattered at all. </p>

<p>My family all were drawn to social sciences...thanks for any advice I can pass on.</p>

<p>Babson and Bentley sound good. Mount St. Mary is good, but is in a very small town in rural Maryland. It's Catholic.</p>

3

<p>washington & lee, bucknell, richmond, muhlenberg, washington & jefferson... </p>

<p>there are quite a few smaller universities that would fit the bill, though: lehigh, villanova, marist, providence and others, im sure.</p>

<p>Lehigh is nationally known for its accounting program.</p>

<p>Thanks, I know she isn't a partier and said she would prefer a non-frat school, but if the percentage was small, it wouldn't matter. I'll pass on the names.</p>

<p>One of my twins talks of accounting but really loves History...but she doesn't want to teach and she's good in math. I found these sites to help you with who has what:
American</a> Institute of Certified Public Accountants
USNews.com:</a> America's Best Colleges 2008: Majors: Accounting</p>

<p>University of Northern Iowa is a centralized campus with 11-13,000 students. They boast a graduate CPA passage rate of nearly 80% on first attempt. All of the major accounting firms recruit heavily from UNI because of the perception of a strong work ethic of Iowans. The curriculum is grueling, though. Nearly 2/3 change majors to another discipline in the first 2 years. The campus is nice and the community of Cedar Falls is amazing. Good luck!</p>

<p>William & Mary has a great accounting program. Other depts are also top shelf if she changes her mind, which college students often do.</p>

<p>Small respectable AACSB-accredited schools with accounting majors include: Bentley, Richmond, W&M, Holy Cross</p>

<p>Also look at Babson, RIT, BU, Villanova and Duquense.</p>
