Had a question for out of state candidates to the program. I am also interested in attending the program but have read in other forums that it doesn't really matter where you get a masters in accounting program from as long as you earn a CPA. The cost to attend for out of state students is really expensive and I was just looking to see if you all thought that it's worth the cost to attend UNC vs an in state school. Thanks!

There may be some truth to that depending on the type of work you want to do but one of the main advantages of a program like UNC's is the Career Services. You will basically have a job offer 6 months before you even finish the program. The entire process is extremely organized and successful. The out of state tuition can be costly but its all about the cost-benefit. Another thing to keep in mind is that the well known programs allow you flexibility with job location. I've been told by the UNC Career Services office that students tell them where they won't to work so that they can arrange interviews for you with firms in your desired location. People tell me that if you know a region you want to work in once a program is completed its always nice to go to a school in that general vicinity (ie UNC-Mid Atlantic and Southeast, Illinois-Mid West, UT-Texas and Southeast, USC-West Coast, etc).
Hope that helps.

How much accounting have you had? One of the big reasons (Besides placement and ranking) I considered UNC was because they didn't require prereqs, even capping it off at 9 hours. I only took one semester of fin. accounting in UG so the schools I could apply to were few and far between, certainly none close to me. A state school in my home state would end up being prohibitively more expensive for me, because I'd have to go take UG classes for a year or so and miss out on the potential income.
However, it is convenient that I do love the NC area and am hoping to live there in the future. The price is steep, but the placement numbers are pretty amazing. The tuition seems pretty par for the course as far as other similar programs with minimal prereqs. I wouldn't consider UNC if you have absolutely no desire to live there, even though grads are placed all over the region.
