Wow, spirited debate about accounting! How cool is that? BTW, I am a CPA and the Controller of multiple manufacturing locations of a Fortune 200 global company. As mentioned, professional certification requires 150 hours rather than a graduate degree. Having a five year Masters of Accounting degree is a good option and UNC-CH has an outstanding program. So do the other schools mentioned. I am an App State Bachelors degree graduate, worked for Deloitte and have had plenty of opportunities and a great career. UNC-CH definitely has a wider footprint than more regionally focused schools but success is much more about ambition and drive than credentials. My ASU classmates have had tremendous success on national and international levels.

I currently have a staff accountant with a four year degree who is pursuing her MBA through an online program to reach the 150 hour requirement. She will sit for the exam and will be positioned to accomplish great things.

Thanks to everyone for your thoughtful comments and passionate debate.
