Savedbythebell7, to qualify for the CPA, you generally need 150 credits. It seems much wiser to obtain a masters for the extra credts than to stay 5 years in undergraduate studies.

As for which school is best for accounting, the question is pointless. The curriculum for all accounting programs are mandated by the State Boards of Accountancy. Although there are some variances, they really don't differ much from program to program. The key is NOT which school you attend but what your GPA would be in accounting and overall.

Remember, accountants are very numbers oriented. Thus, having a high GPA ( atleast 3.4) and high GPA in accounting is very important to them.
