The Accountancy undergraduate program was ranked first last year, marking the first time both programs were rated first. The graduate rankings were determined by business school deans and program heads who voted for up to 10 schools in each of eleven specialty areas.
Rankings never tell the whole story, but it is gratifying to have our graduate programs highlighted.
The department, which was fourth in the 2000 ranking, offers four graduate degrees including a Ph.D. and M.S. in accountancy, an M.S. with a specialty in taxation, and masters in accounting science. More than 240 students are currently working towards graduate degrees in the department. The rankings were based on weighted averages of eight quality indicators, including reputation, placement success, and student selectivity. A partial listing of programs evaluated is included in the weekly magazine and on the U.S. News Online website .
