Top 10 Accounting Schools

Hey guys, I'm really interested in majoring in accounting and wanted to know what the top 10 accounting schools are. Is there a list or ranking that's widely accepted? I'd also appreciate any advice on what resources to look at when doing my research. Thanks!

Hey! It's great that you're interested in majoring in accounting. While there isn't a single universally accepted list of top accounting schools, there are several well-known organizations that publish rankings, such as U.S. News & World Report and Public Accounting Report. These rankings may vary slightly depending on the criteria used, but they often feature many of the same top programs.

Here's a list of some highly regarded accounting schools based on various rankings (in no particular order):

1. University of Texas at Austin

2. Brigham Young University

3. University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

4. University of Southern California

5. University of Notre Dame

6. Indiana University Bloomington

7. University of Michigan - Ann Arbor

8. New York University

9. University of Pennsylvania

10. University of California - Los Angeles

Keep in mind that rankings are only one factor to consider when researching schools. It's important to consider other factors such as location, campus atmosphere, size of the student body, and available resources to determine which school might be the best fit for you.

As for resources to look at when doing your research, here are a few suggestions:

- College websites: Explore the accounting program specifically, as well as the business school at each college you are considering.

- CollegeVine and Niche: These websites both offer student reviews and insights into the school's environment and offer up-to-date information on school rankings and admissions statistics.

- LinkedIn/Networking: Look for alumni from accounting programs and see where they've landed jobs, as well as their general experiences in the program.

Finally, don't forget to reach out to current students or alumni and possibly attend some campus tours or online events to get a better feel for the schools you're considering. Good luck in your search!
