<p>I'm a recent graduate from the University of Michigan (BA in econ) and I'm thinking about getting a masters in accounting from Eastern Michigan University. The program is convenient (cheap, close, no prereqs, ect) and I'm pretty sure I would get close to a 4.0 GPA.</p>

<p>I'm just worried that going to Eastern will do more (career) harm than good. I mean EMU doesn't have that great of a reputation! </p>

<p>I've been able to land some decent interviews (Capital One, FTI Consulting, ect), and I'd hope that going to Eastern wouldn't eliminate these options in the future. Does this make sense? </p>

<p>My current goal is to go into public accounting, but I want to keep my options open.....</p>

<p>Anyone have any thoughts?</p>

<p>Honestly, a MACC is really just to get you to the 150 credit hour mark. You could go to a better school, but I am not sure it really matters. UMich is the alumni and school you will go off of and the reputation you will have.</p>

<p>If you can still afford it, go to Ross. The experience there is unlike any other major at UMich. In addition, you’ll have even better networking opps for your career.</p>

<p>Thanks for the responses. </p>

<p>Ross isn’t really affordable (for me) and it doesn’t begin until August. I plan on enrolling in December.</p>
