Perhaps you are a first-time visitor to our website. If so, you are likely a prospective student giving serious consideration to your future. I believe you have come to the right place. Our passion is your future. I invite your serious consideration.

The School of Accountancy at Utah State University (USU) is a very special place. It is a place where engaged students intersect with a highly-talented faculty who have dedicated themselves to teaching excellence.

Results are dramatic. USU accounting graduates are highly sought after by a full range of the very best employers. Graduates of our program are consistently top performers. Perhaps you will find it interesting to know that students from Utah perform better than students from any other state on the nationally administered uniform CPA exam, and USU's master's degree graduates score the best of all public universities in the state of Utah.

As a public university, both in-state and out-0f-state students alike enjoy some of the most favorable tuition rates in the country (equally noteworthy is that our alumni have generously provided opportunities for additional scholarship support and professional internships). Speaking of enjoyment, USU is located in scenic Cache Valley. We are barely an hour away from "big city" opportunities in Salt Lake, but even closer to abundant outdoor recreation opportunities. I should also mention that our hometown of Logan has several times been rated the safest metropolitan area in America. This is simply a great place to enjoy living and learning!

I know that your decision about college is a big one. You likely have unanswered questions. Don't hesitate to contact me. I will be glad to get you the information you need to make the decision that is right for you.
