Villanova University
Accounting
Surprisingly, Villanova – ranked #24 by Bloomberg Businessweek and #75 by Poets & Quants – tops the list for the best schools for accounting, with PwC, Deloitte, and KPMG serving as the biggest consumers of Wildcat accounting talent.
Looking for confirmation that something may be amiss? The University of Texas, Brigham Young University, and the University of Pennsylvania – which rank first, third, and fifth in U.S. News’ undergraduate accounting rankings – didn’t even make Linkedin’s top 25. The University of Illinois and Notre Dame, which ranked second and fourth in U.S. News for accounting, scored the second and ninth spots with Linkedin respectively.
