Hey, folks

Someone asked me help for the decision. Does anyone know which school offers better Master of Accounting program? ECU or UNC-Charlotte?

This might help. Search for masters in accounting. Then refine search with a zip code somewhere in the triangle, put in like a 200 mile radius and you should get both schools to come up. It has a comparison tool, and a place where you can put in your priorities and have it rank schools based on that.

Thank you, Supplanter

But it has no information about the "outcome' part for these 2 schools. It's a good website though, might need it some day.

A Masters of Accounting might not be the best graduate education to seek right now, in terms of return on investment. There is a surprising number of experienced and well educated accountants flooding the job market right now. I'm not sure where they all came from, but they do have rather impressive resumes- working for corporations such as Chrysler, General Motors, Charter Communications, Six Flags, Eddie Bauer, and Circuit City. Some of them even have experience at famous investment, banking, and accounting firms such as 1st Centennial Bancorp, Advanta Corp, Allco Finance Group, American Freedom Mortgage, American Home Mortgage Investment Corporation, BankUnited Financial Corporation, Cape Fear Bank Corporation, Capital Corp of the West, Capmark Financial, CIB Marine Bancshares, Inc, CIT Group, Colonial BancGroup, Inc, Cooperative Bankshares, Inc, Cynergy Data, LLC, Fortunoff Holdings, LLC, Fortunoff Holdings, LLC, Imperial Capital Bancorp, Irwin Financial Corporation, Lehman Brothers, Kaupthing Singer & Friedlander, NetBank, Security Bank Corporation, Silver State Bancorp, Southern Community Bancshares, Inc., Team Financial, Inc., Temecula Valley Bancorp, Terra Securities, Thornburg Mortgage, Inc, UCBH Holdings, Vineyard National Bancorp, or Washington Mutual.

Although- if you were weighing your options between entering the employment market now with an undergraduate degree and deferring entry into that draft until you had a graduate degree, then yes that might be very wise wherever you chose to go. Of course, the smart money is on 2 weeks of training in the booming career fields of either the repo man or process server. Both are great options but do involve quite a bit of driving, and even sometimes having to hop over fences in the dead of night.
