Hi ,

I am planning to attend graduate school for master in accounting. I wonder if you can help me find out which schools are the top ten accouting graduate schools in America.

Thanks

Hi highfive287,

The topic of this forum is MBA program admissions, and I do not have expertise in programs specifically geared towards accounting. We focus on the top MBA programs, which are Masters in Business Administration and may include concentrations in topics like Finance, Marketing and Strategy but are general management degrees in the end.

Good luck,

Amy

Hi tompa,

Thanks for answering the question - could you add a citation for the rankings?

I'm a little confused because as far as I know Wharton does not offer a master's in accounting degree. However, I am not an expert in master's of accounting degrees and cannot offer any professional advice about them.

I believe that he got the list from USNews. I know USNews has a section in their "Best Grad Schools: Business" section that has "Specialties: Accounting". Still, I'm not sure this list is specifically for Masters of Accounting degrees. I think it's just business schools that have strong programs in accounting.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
