<p>how much will 3 years at usc cost you?</p>
<p>how much will four?</p>
<p>people tell me to go to csun instead of usc because its the same thing but cheaper, until you go for graduate...if so why doesnt everyone do that?</p>
<p>because not everyone like the prestige that CSUN will give you.
according to USC's estimate, the current cost to attend for a year is around $50,000
so multiplying that by three would mean that you'd need $150,000.</p>
<p>The Cost of Attendance comes out to be a little over $52,000/ year. Now the amount that USC would cost you all depends on how much financial aid your eligible for and whether or not you get merit money.</p>
<p>There are major differences in education, prestige, and name recognition between USC and Northridge. A lot of people still go to USC for undergrad because they are either getting a good chunk of financial aid or money is just not an issue.</p>
<p>If you're going into accounting then I don't think there is much of a difference between USC and CSUN. Not sure about other programs though.</p>
<p>Yeah, I believe CSUN has a good accounting program, but it's not nearly as good as Leventhal.</p>
<p>you should look up the thread that taxguy posted about accounting major. he states that accounting is basically the same everywhere because the curriculum is almost the same everywhere. I also asked my acctg professor at ucb and he says that yea you can take classes at other schools as long as you meet the minimum unit requirements to take the cpa exam which is the pinnacle of accounting major.</p>
<p>"4. Should I go to the highest ranked schools for accounting? This question seems to be asked in one way or another many times and is probably the most frequently asked question about accounting.</p>
<p>Answer: As long as a school is accredited ( AACSB accreditation and regional accreditation), it DOESN'T MATTER which school you attend. The reason is that the State Boards of Accountancy mandate the curriculum. Thus, from school to school, probably 80% or more of the courses taken will be the same. Even the books used are usually the same. Thus, going to Wharton, vs. University of Texas, vs. UVA, vs. Baruch College vs. Maryland will probably not increase your job opportunities that much from school to school for accounting jobs. Moreover, the pay is fairly set among starting accounting jobs. Attending a top, name school might get you a few thousand dollars more to start ( and I mean only a few) ,but it usually evens out among school."</p>
