Thoughts on the online Accounting program at Purdue? My niece is entering this program, and she's pretty excited about it. However, I'm not sure Purdue is a reputable enough college. Do people who complete this program go on to have successful careers?

I went to purdue. If you’re talking about actual purdue university it’s a great school. If you’re talking about purdue global, it’s a for profit university (formerly Kaplan) and would not recommend.

Yeah, I think the large public universities are probably some of the best places to go if you want to get into Big Four. My office recruits heavily from the Big Ten/Big 12 schools in my state.

It's accounting, as long as she gets a cpa no one cares where you went to school

If this wasn’t said I was going to say it lol. CPA is all the firms care about. And even then it’s to check a box.

The university is fine. The online part is probably the bigger question.

They are accredited by ACBSP. Make sure her state accepts that for the requirements to sit for CPA.

The one accountant from Purdue I know got fired less than a year in. #purdon’t

In all seriousness tho, they get hired. Their recruiting isn’t as heavy/built out as something like Indiana’s for Big 4/Public, so it may require a little more effort on her part to get interviews in the first place, but it’s not like she would be auto-rejected purely based on school. There’s a CPA shortage in the field, so if she goes and becomes CPA eligible, there shouldn’t be much of an issue finding opportunity.
