Almost everything that’s been said here is off the mark or irrelevant.

USC’s MAcc is a top-5 program. It’s not only highly ranked but extensive. USC has a School of Accountancy, not just a department, and it offers Master of Businss Tax also. That WashU is ranked higher in college ranking means absolutely nothing in this case.

That said, accounting firms, even the Big4, hire regionally for their accounting practice. That means if you want to work in LA, go to USC; if you want to work in St. Lous, go to WashU. The office in St. Louis isn’t go to fly to Los Angeles to recruit just because USC’s program is ranked higher.
