Accounting Programs Repeat Triple Crown Ranking
Public Accounting Report, Nov. 30, 2004
In its annual ranking of accounting programs, Public Accounting Report once again ranks The University of Texas at Austin's McCombs School of Business No. 1 in the nation at all three levels: undergraduate, graduate and doctoral. McCombs repeats the triple crown for the third year in a row.
This marks the 11th consecutive year that the
McCombs School's professional-level graduate programs—the Professional Program in
Accounting (PPA) and Master in Professional Accounting (MPA)—earn
the No. 1 spot from Public Accounting Report.
One of the leading trade publications for certified public
accountants, Public Accounting Report (PAR) bases its rankings on
the largest national survey of accounting academics, conducted
annually by PAR's sister publication, CPA Personnel Report. The
results appeared in the Nov. 30 edition of PAR.
