Where is the best college for the BS/MS Accounting Program?

JaszyJ31 · 07-02-2009, 02:37 PM

I am really interested in accounting and go to a very prestigious high school dealing with mathematics and science. I did some research and found colleges that have the 5 year program where you get both your bachelors and masters in accounting--therefore getting 150 hours to get the CPA. I was wondering which colleges would be the best to attend with the five year program

UT-Austin by far. Other notables are BYU and USC-Marshall

The MPA (5-year accounting) program at UT Austin commands serious respect and has the highest pass rate on the CPA exam of any school.

As a bonus, Houston, Dallas and Austin are in Forbes top 4 "cities for your career" and Houston and Dallas each have the 2nd and 3rd most fortune 500 HQs after New York.

If you are looking in the northeast, Rutgers and UCONN both have 5 year programs that are highly regarded.
