Hello! It's great that you've identified your interest in majoring in accounting. Before listing some top accounting programs, it's important to note that the best college for an individual may be more than just the ranking of the program. Factors such as location, campus culture, and financial fit should be considered when making a decision. That being said, here are some of the top accounting business schools, based on a combination of their program reputation and alumni success:

1. University of Pennsylvania (Wharton School)

2. University of Texas at Austin (McCombs School of Business)

3. Brigham Young University (Marriott School of Business)

4. University of Southern California (Marshall School of Business)

5. University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (Gies College of Business)

6. Indiana University (Kelley School of Business)

7. University of Notre Dame (Mendoza College of Business)

8. University of Michigan (Ross School of Business)

9. New York University (Stern School of Business)

10. Boston College (Carroll School of Management)

Keep in mind that rankings can change over time and may vary slightly depending on the source. As you research these schools further, consider visiting their websites to learn more about the accounting program, the curriculum, opportunities for internships or co-ops, and any available extracurricular activities that complement the major (e.g., accounting clubs or associations, volunteering for free tax help, etc.).

Additionally, reaching out to current students or alumni from these programs can provide valuable insight into their experiences and help you get a better idea of which program might be the best fit for you. Good luck in your college search!
