<p>So i was accepted to all three from NH and want to major in accounting. I want to do an accelerated five year masters at either Case or Penn State. Case is ranked the highest, however they are not really known for their accounting school, although i know it is by no means bad. I got 24,000 over 4 yrs at penn state, but that is it. Money is not a major issue, but obviously saving money is good. What about job placement? Any suggestions would be great, thanks :)</p>
<p>Bump this is my future</p>
<p>I think one issue with the lack of response is that a lot of people (including me) don’t know about the accelerated five year masters program in accounting. Overall, Case has good job placement and is supportive, but I don’t know about accounting. While money may not be a big issue, I assume that you got one of the Case scholarships that is approximately equal in one year to the four years’ worth of support at Penn State? For us, that made Case a great value for the quality of school that it is (more highly regarded than Penn State or UConn). Hopefully you can attend one of the accepted students’ weekends and get a better feel for the school. Good luck!</p>
<p>What kind of school do you want? Penn State is huge. UCONN is large, but not as big as Penn State. CWRU is much smaller. CWRU is in a city, not a college town. The state Us have a reputation of being party schools. CWRU is not a party school, although you can find parties on campus. What do YOU want in a school?</p>
<p>Accounting is a fairly popular major within the Weatherhead School of Management at Case, which is very highly ranked.</p>
<p>While I don’t know anything about the accounting program, I am a parent of a freshmen who is having a great experience. He has many friends at Penn State, who he has visited several times. He says their dorms aren’t as nice, and they agree. Beyond the obvious difference of college size and location, another consideration is class size and if applicable to you, AP credits. My son’s scores on AP exams, SAT subject tests, and placement exams, allowed him to be placed in smaller advanced entry level courses, or to move directly to level 300 courses. His Advanced lecture had 50 students instead of 150.</p>
<p>My DH majored in accounting at CWRU back in the 1980’s and he was hired into a Big 8 (at the time) accounting firm. The Weatherhead School of Mgt is well regarded.</p>
