<p>Hey everyone. I'm toying around with the idea of majoring in accounting. If I get rejected from Cornell, I'm going to need a safety school.</p>
<p>Which of the colleges below would be better for an accounting undergraduate degree in terms of being able to get a decent job and going on to a great graduate school? Or are they relatively equal in terms of placing me into job/grad school?</p>
<p>Adelphi University Honors College (Full Ride)
OR
SUNY Binghamton</p>
<p>Thanks in advance, please help.</p>
<p>UIUC would have been a good choice but you waited too long to ask this question. The only available schools with a decent business school are Arizona State and Michigan State. Be aware that you have to reapply to the business program in your junior year.</p>
<p>That wasn't one of my choices... :-(</p>
<p>I'd choose SUNY Binghamton over Adelphi myself. The overall academics are better and it's not a commuter school like Adelphi tends to be. They also offer a 5 year MBA/BS program in accounting which Adelphi doesn't (at least that I can see from their web site) The accounting program at Binghamton seems solid based on its required curriculum and faculty bio's (see link below about how they just won second place in the Pricewaterhousecooper accounting contest) but I'd suggest asking each school about how many graduates of the accounting programs take AND pass the CPA exam.

<p>bump, any other opinions?</p>
