<p>2)will I be able to fulfill the CPA requirements if I go to UCSC for Buss Econ</p>

<p>3) Which college does Big 4 heavily recruit ?</p>

<p>If you know you want to be an accountant, SDSU is the better choice. They have a true Business program and better weather.</p>

<p>But which would better overall? Would employers choose someone from ucsc or sdsu ?</p>

<p>The Big 4 recruit pretty much everywhere. Both are good programs.</p>

<p>As for better for accounting, I don’t know. I’ll tell you though that it’s unlikely anyone from the Big 4 will be choosing between a SDSU/UCSC student. You’ll likely be recruited for their SF office or something whereas the SDSU student would be recruited for the SD or LA office(although this isn’t written in stone).</p>
