<p>I am a transfer student entering my junior year at university of Illinois. I am majoring on accounting but will need an additional 30 credit hours to be eligible for the CPA exam. Im wondering if a masters in accounting or double majoring would increases my chances at getting into a big 4 firm. </p>

<p>if double majoring would be the way to go, would finance the best option to go with an accounting degree? </p>

<p>any input would be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>I believe most tend to agree that the quickest and cheapest route to 150 units is generally the best when shooting for the CPA.</p>

<p>I am double majoring in MIS + Accounting since it would only require me to complete 1 or 2 more semesters (depending on how much overload I am able to do) compared to a Masters in Accountancy which would take much longer. The combo is also good for someone who wants to shoot for IT auditing.</p>
