<p>I don’t know a whole lot about the Culverhouse School of Accountancy, but I know it is very good…ranked 15th in the nation for public universities. [Culverhouse</a> School of Accountancy](<a href=“http://www.cba.ua.edu/accounting/]Culverhouse”>http://www.cba.ua.edu/accounting/). </p>
<p>I also know that Ernst & Young ($600k), and PriceWaterhouseCoopers ($ 1M) made huge donations recently to the School of Accountancy. </p>
<p>I know that UA doesn’t use T/As for teaching (lectures/instruction), but it does use T/As for labs and for doing some grading. My son was a T/A there for 2 profs. He just helped in the lab, took roll, proctored exams, graded tests, and helped students with questions while in the lab.</p>
<p>The Accountancy dept offers its own scholarships (which would be in addition to any awarded by the university).</p>
