<p>the title is pretty obvious....what r the BEST ACCOUNTING schools?....not necessarily best BUSINESS but best ACCOUNTING.....</p>
<p>This is taken from US News, but from Big 4 reps I've spoken with, it's basically in line with what they think as well:</p>
<ol>
<li>UT Austin (McCombs)</li>
<li>U of Illinois Urbana-Champagne</li>
<li>UPenn (Wharton)</li>
<li>USC (Leventhal)</li>
</ol>
<p>USC meaning university of southern cal or south carolina..?</p>
<p>Southern Cal.</p>
<p>thas wut im sayin but its pretty far from ny :( i really wanted 2 go there 2..... i luv USC but im afraid 2 live that far away (3000 mi.) is wake forest, case or tcnj up on that list at all?</p>
<p>If it's any consolation, 40% of USC's student body is from out of state and I know many New Yorkers. There's something to be said for going cross-country for college. As far as the other schools you mentioned, I'm not sure; US News requires a paid membership to see further down the list...</p>
<p>Wake is very good. High pass rate.</p>
<p>thx 4 the info guyz</p>
<p>Mcintire is ranked 19th in accounting, but 9th in undergrad business overall.</p>
<p>Uva Doesn't Hav Undergrad Accounting</p>
<p>Uhh...
yes they do</p>
<p>WHARTON is the best in all finance and accounting.</p>
<p>Wharton is solid in accounting, but McCombs is to accounting what Wharton is to finance.</p>
<p>My nephew graduated last year from Bentley as an accounting major. He loved the school and landed a high-paying job before graduation, complete with a fully paid masters program. I don't know where Bentley falls in the hierarchy of accounting schools, but I do know he had a good experience there.</p>
<p>bentley ain't that good in acctg. its good in business overall im lookin 4 greatness in strictly accounting</p>
<p>My accountant says for accounting you can go anywhere. That is just one cpa's opinion. I have a friend who is an accounting professor at a state college and he says that you want to look at the cpa exam first time pass rate, and make sure that there are a minimum of 100 students in that major. He suggests checking with the career office to see where their graduates found employment.</p>
<p>I think that William & Mary has a decent accounting program</p>
<p>Also look at Michigan. It has a very respected Accounting department. Last year, out of fewer than 70 accounting students, 17 got internships with PWC, 10 with D&T and 8 with E&Y. And out of 65 or so graduating accounting majors, 9 joined PWC, 7 joined E&Y and 5 joined D&T.</p>
<p>My Bentley nephew got a job with E&Y with a fully paid master's program at UVA.</p>

<p>Bentley was originally founded as the Bentley School of Accounting and Finance.</p>
