Which universities are most recruited by the Big 4 firms?

I'm hoping to work at one of the Big 4 accounting firms after college. Does anyone know which universities in the US are most targeted by these firms for recruitment?

The recruitment preferences of the Big 4 accounting firms (Deloitte, Ernst & Young, KPMG, and PricewaterhouseCoopers) can somewhat vary, but generally, they tend to target colleges and universities with strong accounting or business programs. Here are a few examples of such institutions:

1. University of Texas at Austin — The McCombs School of Business at this university has a top-tier accounting program consistently ranked among the best in the country.

2. Brigham Young University — The Marriott School of Business is also renowned for its excellent accounting program.

3. University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign — This university also has a highly respected accounting program within its Gies College of Business.

4. University of Notre Dame — Notre Dame's Mendoza College of Business is highly sought-after location by these firms.

5. University of Southern California — The Leventhal School of Accounting within the Marshall School of Business is another popular target.

6. New York University — Given its location, NYU is attractive to the Big 4, particularly through its Stern School of Business.

Remember to make the most of your university's career services and networking opportunities, like career fairs or alumni networking events. Most importantly, your personal skills, experiences, and performance in courses and internships will play a huge role in earning a position at these firms. Best of luck with your plans!
