<p>Through its Williams School of Commerce, Economics and Politics, Washington and Lee University is one of the only (if not the only) top 20 LACs to have a fully-accredited undergraduate business school offering degrees in subjects including accounting and finance. </p>

<p>if you go to ucla then you could do the accounting minor if you are interested in that field; you can do that thru either economics or biz-econ.</p>
<p>Most true LACs are closer to 2,000 students. Bucknell is one of the largest LACs and has accounting and engineering.</p>
<p>It’s not in New England, but aside from that, Claremont McKenna in California sounds a lot like what you’re looking for. It’s part of the Claremont consortium, a group of five liberal arts colleges with about 5000 undergrads total. It offers a traditional liberal arts education but with a bit of a practical, pre-professional emphasis. And it just got a $200 million gift (the largest ever for a liberal arts college) for its finance programs. It also has a computer science sequence (like a minor) I believe, but if your son wants more computer science classes, he can always cross-register at Harvey Mudd, one of the other Claremont Colleges. </p>

<p>I second Lehigh. 4500 undergraduates, in PA, well-regarded accounting, computer science offerings</p>
<p>Check out Muhlenberg. 2400 students with Accounting major that sends grads to the big 4.</p>
<p>Holy Cross has accounting courses. Of course, it seems to be a bit smaller than what you’re looking for at about 2,000 students. </p>
<p>As another poster mentioned, look at Lehigh. That seems to match the size school you’re after.</p>
<p>I would say Bucknell, Holy Cross, Washington & Lee are the closest to what you’re seeking.</p>
<p>I second the response for Holy Cross- they have an Eco-Acc program that is quite popular. I have several friends who are working for Deloitte and PwC after going thru this major…</p>
<p>I third Bucknell. Easier to get into than Washington & Lee, has both accounting and compsci as majors, well regarded by recruiters, strong alumni network, and around 5,000 students total.</p>
<p>William & Mary is a LAC-type school (5700 undergrad) that has an excellent accounting program.</p>
<p>Villanova sends many of its business undergrads into accounting jobs. The business program there has a lot of accounting courses.</p>
<p>Saint Mary’s College of California in Moraga has a fantastic Accounting program that feeds into Earnst and Young…one of the “big five” My BIL attended there, was recruited out of undergrad and is now a partner in the firm making a vary nice living.</p>
<p>Wake Forest in North Carolina has an undergrad. accounting program.</p>
<p>I’ll add Providence and Clarkson.</p>
<p>Good topic. With Sarbannes-Oxley, accounting has become a very in demand profession. For years, it was looked down upon as the grunt profession in MBA programs, and to a lesser degree in undergrad biz schools.</p>
<p>That’s all changed. Accountants are getting annual 10-15% increases the past three years. Accountants are smiling for the first time in years, what with the collapse of the Big 8 into the Big 5.</p>
<p>It’s a whole new world of opportunity for accoutants.</p>
<p>you should also try lehigh university.. not an LAC obviously but has a major in accounting and only has about 5,000 undergrads</p>
<p>Just heard about Linfield College in Portland, Oregon. It is a small LAC (1700) with accounting, small classes, good teachers.</p>
<p>Smaller than you mention but you might consider Franklin and Marshall.</p>
