<p>I want to major in accounting. My question is, when someone is hiring you, do they typically look at the college where you got your bachelor's degree or master's degree(if you went to get one) more in depth? </p>
<p>my problem, i want to go to a college where i know i will be happy, (because of financial reasons and i got waitlisted at other higher institutions) but it is not accredited by business or accounting but they have a business dept (New Paltz). Would it look a lot better if say, I got to a better business school for my master's and graduate with a bachelor's from new paltz. </p>
<p>(i'm sorry if this was confusing to read, it was hard to me to word it)</p>
<p>The better business schools usually require 2-3 years of full time work experience after college for admission.</p>

<p>I think this only applies if your going for an MBA, not for a master’s of accounting. A lot of programs have the master’s programs integrated into the bachelor’s.</p>
<p>xroarss, to the best of my knowledge, a lot of the accounting firms do their entry level hiring through on campus recruiting. If they don’t recruit from your school, then your gonna have a harder time getting in. Im sure that there are others on here who have experience in these firms that can give you more in-depth information.</p>
<p>You’re probably gonna do something similar to me. I’m starting college next year at Texas A&M University- Kingsville (got a full ride). Because its small, relatively unknown and lightly recruited, I’m going to try to go to McCombs (dream) to get a MPA or A&M-College Station (more likely reality) to get a MS in Accounting. McCombs has no problems with too few recruiters and A&M has a big alumni network. Of course, this is just a plan and it may change, but you and I seem to be heading along a similar path.</p>
