The School of Accounting at the David Eccles School of Business continues to make noise nationally for its quality, which is reflected in the new school rankings just released by the Public Accounting Report. The Masters of Accounting, or MAcc, program moved up to No. 24 in the nation for 2012, jumping six spots from its 2011 ranking at No. 30.

Both the undergraduate Accounting and the MAcc programs were recognized as Top 10 level when compared to similar-sized universities—those with between 16 and 21 full-time Accounting faculty members.

A team of five accounting students from the David Eccles School of Business won the regional round of the FanTAXtic tax case competition run by the Deloitte Foundation, earning a January trip to Texas to vie against eight other schools from across the country in the finals.

The team from the U will be competing in Texas against the likes of Michigan State University, the University of Missouri, St. John Fisher College, the University of South Florida, the University of Southern California, the University of Texas and the College of William & Mary.
