Hello everyone,
I am currently a senior that is graduating this May with a bachelor's degree in Sociology. My GPA is not exactly competitive, it is about a 3.0. I am looking to get a masters in accounting. I have not taken any type of prerequisite courses such as economics or any type of business courses. What programs would be a good fit for me?
I read about the MS in Accountancy program at DePaul University that seems like it might be a good fit for me, but it is a private school and is insanely expensive.
Additionally, does the program rank or the prestige of the school that you are getting your Masters in Accountancy from matter greatly?
I know the prestige of the school you go to for J.D or M.B.A. programs are very important, but is it the same for graduate accountancy programs?
I am looking at state school graduate programs that are ranked as "tier 3 and 4" according to US News' national university ranking. Is getting a master's degree from one of these schools a good idea, or will it just be seen as "inferior".
Thanks in advance for your help!

Before I go in-depth in responding to your post... are you talking about for this year (starting fall 2010)? Because many program deadlines have already passed...
If you're planning on entering the program later, consider taking the GMAT first since you'll have a better idea of what schools are good for you once you have that score.
I suppose where you go doesn't matter as much for a MAcc as it does for a JD or MBA; however, higher-ranked or better-recognized schools will often have established relationships with the accounting firms in their area, and thus job placement and recruiting will be better.
If you have a clear idea of where you want to work, I would recommend looking for a smaller school with strong regional ties.

Hi, in all likelihood I will be applying to programs that start Fall 2011. I'm from Chicago so I would like to work in Chicago, but I am very open to relocating to another major city such as New York under the right circumstances and with appropriate compensation.
I should also mention that I am currently considering taking some economics and accounting classes at my local community college once I graduate with my BA.
Is this a good idea or just a waste of time and money? One of my local community colleges actually offers a "accounting certificate", is this something worth perusing? Additionally, I am also considering getting a AA in business administration, would this be worth it?
