<p>I am a highschool student that lives in eastern Pennsylvania and I am wondering what colleges around me are best for the Accounting Major. I have over a 4.0 and excel in school and I was wondering if anyone knew of lists of top Accounting Colleges or knew good ones from experience. Please post either websites with lists, crediable lists, or opinions and suggestions on top Northeast Accounting Colleges. Thank You -Cole</p>
<p>I imagine you could go to Penn's wharton school and concentrate in accounting.</p>
<p>Why accounting? It seems like an industry that is just waiting to be outsourced..</p>
<p>UVA is good, if you're willing to look down to the middle-atlantic area. </p>
<p>I'm also tempted to say Carnegie Mellon and Georgetown?</p>
<p>bentley or babson is supposed to be good i think..</p>
<p>Penn State, Lehigh and Villanova are also very good.</p>
<p>are you looking to be in accounting after graduation and what are your stats?</p>
<p>Boston College</p>
<p>WHARTON Finance!
HARVARD Economics!</p>
<p>Great Future Job at Big 4!</p>
<p>And that, of course, is all that matters in life.</p>
<p>Is prestige of school more important than major?</p>
<p>According to the latest USNWR, below are the rankings of the top Accounting departments in the US.</p>
