Accounting

[tm decomposer]

So I'm looking to major in accounting. I was wondering if anyone who majors in it/does it for a living could direct me to some good colleges that have a strong business/accounting program.

I'm looking to stay on the east coast. Also, if you have any bad stories about it, please share.

I'm about to graduate from UConn with a BS in Accounting. The business school here is really good and UConn is one of the top public universities on the east coast I believe.

just don't go to Pace, no matter how good people tell you their business programs are. If you have the grades, look into NYU.

Really old but yes, we have a great accounting program here. all of my friends that graduated from the program have awesome jobs. It's not the east coast but the towns are cool.
