UNCC and App State specifically are known for accounting and would be better than Western Carolina. UNCC and App State get a lot of specific recruiting from the accounting firms in Charlotte and are greatly represented at all the Charlotte firms.

And even though for investment banks these days, you go through the hirevue process, being at a target school like UNC CH is much better than the other UNC schools. The networking and recruiting opportunities are just a lot better. As mentioned, with hirevue, the gap is declining, but the gap is still there. Most UNC CH students that choose IB are getting internships either in NYC, ATL or Charlotte, while only the very best at other schools will get them. It can be done, but will be more difficult. Also there are a lot more specialized classes like private equity, entrepreneurial finance, advanced modelling, etc that a highly ranked B school like KFBS provides that the other NC schools can’t match.
