Hi! I am an accounting major at the University at Albany and I have done a ton of research on accounting programs.

Okay so lemme just start by saying that IT DOES NOT MATTER where you get an accounting degree. As long as the business school is AACSB accredited, then you’re good. What is important is getting the CPA license. After you get it, the college you attend becomes completely irrelevant.

I think recruiting is better at top schools, which may be why some people would consider accounting programs at one school better than another. Firms are looking for experience (internships), ECs, and good grades; whatever school your children can thrive at, send them there!

BTW: That list I saw on the first page of top accounting programs is kinda flawed. From my personal research, I’d say top accounting colleges are UTexas Austin, UIllinois UC, Brigham Young Uni, University of Notre Dame, Wake Forest Uni, etc. Ivy league universities don’t even have accounting programs.

For the sake of money, I’d send them to TCNJ!
