<p>I'm a sophomore currently majoring in Business Management with a concentration in Accounting at SUNY Stony Brook. It's not the best place to be getting a business degree. SBU's business school only offers business management as their only business major and offers concentrations in three different areas one being accounting. After graduating i'm planning on getting my MS/MBA in Accounting and taking the CPA test. Right now I don't know if I should transfer out to either SUNY Binghamton or CUNY Baruch both schools that have the Accounting major. I am hesitant on transferring because I don't know if it will make a difference whether or not I have an Accounting degree as an undergrad since I am going to go to graduate school anyways. I just want to make sure that I will be able to get a steady accounting job and that employers will still consider me for accounting positions even if i did not get a degree in accounting as an undergrad. I would really appreciate any insight anyone has.</p>
<p>no big deal... if you look at the curriculum comparison between SUNY Stony Brook and SUNY Binghamton, it's not that different... a BBA in accounting is virtually the same as a BS Accounting.</p>
<p>Binghamton:

<p>Compare that to your current required curriculum, and I'm willing to bet the only difference is Binghamton may offer tax and auditing, and Stony Brook doesn't... if you are planning on a MS degree anyways, then you can pick up the tax and auditing classes at the school where you do your masters.</p>
<p>I agree with 311Griff IF you are going for an MS in accounting or tax anyway. Of course, if you transferred to a school like Baruch, you wouldn't need a MS in accounting. You can get an extra 30 credits in anything for the CPA. Just a thought.</p>
