colleges/states that Big Four often recruits

Hi,
I am a senior and I’m preparing for my universities path. I want to ask your opinion about schools or states that Big Four often recruits or schools that provide best career chances. Thank you very much :slight_smile:

Go on the Career Development page of any college’s website and look at the recruiting calendar which will show which companies interview when. If you check a college which does not have the kind of companies you are interested in interviewing there, that tells you something.

University of Wisconsin-Madison’s School of Business

Do not base your choices just on this factor. You are much more than just a person to be recruited by certain firms. Look at many other factors in a school. btw, I’m biased, but the UW above has an excellent campus and so many fields other than business to give a great academic experience.

They recruit from lots of schools in lots of states. What are your qualifications, location, interests and budget?

Looking at Deloitte’s website (Careers/Students/Undergraduate), they recruit in almost all the states. Maybe they choose more students from some subset over others, but they visit a wide range of schools.

I would use other factors (cost, location, size, most common majors) to make a list.

They will recruit at most flagship universities with a strong accounting program.

UT-Austin is an obvious answer for someone who wants to practice in TX (from another of your threads).

UIUC also has an excellent undergrad accounting program and I know PwC recruits heavily there (my ex was a partner and, as an alum, was active in PwC’s recruiting efforts at UIUC for a while).

If I study in school which is unfortunately not included in their recruitment list, will I be able to just send my resume ask for a chance :\ ?

If you search “big four” you will find a site which will give you information about each of them and how and where they recruit. Lots of good information.

Just get great grades and you should have a chance of getting on with a Big 4. Your university should have a student accounting society where you can get info on recruiting.
