Hey guys i have decided I want to be an accountant, and I was wondering if any of you guys knew which schools are known for their accounting programs. Also if any of these schools have good lacrosse teams.
Thanks Justin

in general id say most NC college's...they're known for math related professions in general(State, Chapel Hill, western maybe) & the tuition isnt that bad even for out of staters

Or go talk to your guidance counselors. I bet they know more than 99% of the people here.

accounting major
i was so bored by it that i needed a 2nd major in systems management just to stay awake.
if you wanna be a cpa, save your college dough and take a good cpa prep course. you'll spend 10% of the money, get it done in 1/5 time and be better prepped for real world.

I quite agree...
If you WANT to go to college...take some general biz courses and a few accounting courses...
I took college accting in HS and once at college changed my mind

you can't take the cpa exam without a college degree and a certain amount of accounting credits. After you pass it, you're considered a cpa canadite. You have to take a few more classes above and beyond what you'd get with an undergrad degree, which is why a Masters of Accountancy degree isn't bad. I plan on going for mine next year. Most get their undergrad and then go right into a MAcc program, it usually only takes a year if you already have an acct degree. If you majored in something else it might take a year and a half to two. I agree with Kev, USC has a great business school and great accounting professors. PM me if you want to hear more...
The problem is that all states have their own requirements to be a CPA, but with a MAcc you'll be pretty much able to be a CPA in any state.
