[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Accounting is one of those things where a brand name (based on common rankings) may not be necessary.  There are many lower tier schools with very strong and highly regarded accounting programs, and the top firms regularly hire their graduates.  So, it really depends on what her other options are.  Did you research the accounting programs and their placement for all the schools?[/quote]

This is an excellent response for those interested in auditing/assurance division rather than consulting/advisory. However, recruiting for consulting/advisory division at a Big 4 may focus on certain schools.

(Ignore the poster who has an issue with KPMG. That poster probably had a bad experience with KPMG.)

KPMG designed masters degree curriculum is taught at 8 universities ( Arizona State, Ohio State, U Georgia, Baylor, Va Tech, Missouri, USC, U Mississippi).

I believe that KPMG has a scholarship program for AA females, but not certain as I just found it with a quick Google search on another accounting education issue.

The best accounting schools are Texas, Indiana, Notre Dame, Baruch, Bentley, Illinois, Michigan, U Penn, USC, U Florida, Ohio State, BYU and some others that I cannot recall at this time.

CPA standards now essentially require a 5th year of accounting courses. Most students get a one year masters degree in either accounting or taxation in order to have enough credits for the CPA exam licensing requirements.[/quote]
