Several accounting students are unsure where to transfer for their programs. They're weighing options like CSUF (Southern California) and SJSU (Silicon Valley), considering factors such as program strength and career opportunities. Some are seeking advice on converting US CPAs to Canadian ones.

“Hi everyone, I’m currently a California CC student and I plan on applying to transfer next fall. I just wanted to asked all the seasoned California accountants, based on your knowledge/experience, which schools do you guys personally think offer the best accounting programs and opportunities. Of course it’ll also depend on your ability to network and hustle, but I know some schools are more targeted than others. Also, does it matter really where you go for undergrad? Do companies care that much?”
“Im planning on leaving Canada permanently in the future, most likely to the US, and I have some questions about the process. I plan on working in the Big4 and hopefully being able to transfer internally into the US, to make the process easier. I know I probably wont be able to transfer immediately, maybe after a year or so. Should I do the canadian CPA or US CPA? Again, I do not plan on living in Canada in the future. I also know that the canadian CPA is more expensive and difficult, and if I do”
“I live in the Sacramento area in Cali and currently applying to colleges. I want to be an accountant and I’m stuck between moving, sharing an apartment with roommates and attending SJSU for an undergrad degree in accounting, or attending UC Davis for a managerial economics degree, then applying to the MPAc program while sharing an apartment with roommates in Davis. I want a good program with high job security after graduation and cheaper expenses including tuition and living overall. Is there on”
“I graduated this past May with a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration with an emphasis in Finance. I’m considering pursuing a Master’s in Accounting to become CPA-eligible. Since I didn’t complete any internships during undergrad, I’m looking to use a master’s program to not only complete the coursework needed for CPA eligibility but also gain student status again to recruit for internships, build connections, and take advantage of networking opportunities. I’m mainly considering CSUF an”
“I just graduated from langara's PDD Accounting program and I would say that there are definitely pros and cons to this college. Cannot say for the other 2. Given that the campus is much smaller than UBC and SFU, the classes are smaller. This is good in the sense that it allows for you to better connect with the professors should you make the effort to (highly recommend). Its a lot easier for you to stand out. As for the quality of instructors, it completely depends on both your goals and bac”
“I would also consider KPU. I have worked with a few CPAs from KPU - they went through recruitment and did fine.”
“Hello, I just started my grade 12 year and want to become a CPA in the future. I’m an international student that’s hoping to get Permanent Residency around right before enrolling next year, or in 2 years so I’m a little worried about pricing, but also if I could get into these schools with my grade 11 grades. Computer programming 11: 100, Japanese 11: 97, Computer programming 12: 95, Accounting 11: 94, Chemistry 11: 86, English 11: 86, Enriched Pre-calculus 11: 83, French 11: 83, Socials 12: 78.”
“Looks like you haven’t even decided on where to transfer yet? First, you should worry about which 4-year uni you want to go to based on location, clubs, teachers, and campus life. UC Davis, Sac State, SJ State, SF State, CSUEB, etc. all have students who receive offers in public accounting, so you don’t need to stress about that.”
“I’d recommend CSULB first, CSULA second, and CSUDH third. I didn’t even know DH existed. I know you said it’s far, but you’d really benefit from going to CSUF. They have the best accounting program and network amongst the entire CSU system.”
“I am a second year at ucsc, mainly because i was offered a full ride to attend this school. How good is their accounting program? I know santa cruz isn’t known for business but wanted to know if its still viable or if i should leave. submitted by /u/Vast_Ambassador3975 [link] [comments]”
“I want to branch out into public accounting to get the experience. I heard SJSU is very good for landing a big 4 job but also have heard the same for Cal Poly.”
“Doesn’t matter but AS can be better if you want to choose a different path (ie engineering) down the line”
“I'm wondering which school I should transfer to for my bachelors in accounting (from community college.) School A would be 40K total, 20k per year and AACSB accredited in business and accounting, and is a state flagship university that has a solid reputation. And school B would be 10K total and 5K a year. It's a local college and is regarded as more of a commuter school, but not bad by any means. It's also only IACBE business accredited and has no type of AACSB accreditation, is this”
“Sac state is a good one if you’re up north. I heard positive things about San Jose state. But if you’re not in that area sac state is good.”
“Hi I plan to transfer my junior year from Fresno State ( im currently going into my sophomore) to a better university that offers beautiful scenery. I want to become a financial analyst, I was planning on going to UC San Diego any thoughts? submitted by /u/OkResident6976 [link] [comments]”
