At my school, accounting and MIS are only 5 classes different. If you want to get a dual degree, you have to graduate at the same time with both degrees. As in, if you graduate with one, you then have to go back and take ALL of the same classes again to get the other.

I would say that with MIS, the school you go to also has a significant factor. Some corporations recruit heavily from schools that they know prepare their students properly. Accounting is offered pretty much everywhere, and yes, since you would likely have to get a CPA, the school you go to isn’t as vital.

Either way, an internship is the most important thing.
