University among two schools named in the state of Tennessee, only school in Nashville
Belmont University was named as a Top 50 Best Accounting School in the US by a recent ranking released by the Big4AccountingFirms.org. Only two Tennessee schools were included on the list, and Belmont was the only program in Nashville highlighted for providing a “first-rate education” for accounting students interested in securing a Big 4 job.
“We are greatly pleased to be nationally recognized among the impressive universities featured on the list,” said Dean of the Massey College of Business Dr. Sarah Fisher Gardial. “This reflects faculty who are distinguished and experienced in both the accounting practice and the classroom, as well as their continuous push to keep our programs current with industry changes, such as the new CPA exam.”
Belmont is accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) for its overall business program and has a separate accreditation for accounting. The AACSB is the premier agency for bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degree programs in business administration and accounting.
Fewer than five percent of the world’s business schools are able to adhere to standards that result in AACSB accreditation of their business education programs. Fewer than two percent of business schools worldwide have earned the separate, specialized accreditation for their accounting program.
