I'm thinking of becoming an accounting major, what are some of the best universities for this particular major?

Texas, Notre Dame, UIUC, Michigan, USC, Michigan State, IU, UVA, etc.

Is it called accounting major or it is a subset of business/marketing

School doesnt matter for accounting, just make sure the big 4 recruit there and get a decent GPA.

Texas and Illinois are famous for their accounting programs. Stern also has a CPA accounting track, which prepares students very well.

and yet no one mentions BYU

BYU has a great accounting program, but I wouldn't say it's a school for everyone.

Texas is the best for accounting.

that is a ridiculous statement to make. Where is your evidence?

Are you serious?

Are you kidding me? You are really going to quantify one school as being the best? My question is plain and clear, yet it remains utterly profound and cloudy in the mind of some readers. There is no best school, but there is a cluster of great schools. That is why i am questioning the statement denoting Texas as the best. His response represents a singular school, and to literally claim that UT Austin is in fact number one, we would have to take into account a yet to be measured number of variables and opinions. Possible - no its not.

I think Mr Payne was refering to redhare's statement about BYU being not for everybody because its a mormon school. Anyways, any school that has big 4 recruiting is a decent accounting school. Don't choose an undergrad based on accounting program rankings; just go to a target.
