				 <title>Aggies are among the best in the country at passing the CPA exam on their first try. - November 2009</title>
				 <link>http://www.huntsman.usu.edu/acct/htm/soa_news/articleID=8030</link>
				 <description>CPA Exam candidates from Utah State University achieved a Top 10 national ranking for the second year in a row for CPA exam pass rates according to the 2009 National Association of State Boards of Accountancy report.  This is an accomplishment that only three schools can claim: BYU, The University of Washington, and USU.

Larry Walther, head of the School of Accountancy, called the ranking “a significant accomplishment.” He credited the students’ strong work ethics and close relationships with faculty for the success. Classes are small and professors are accessible. They know who you are and make it very welcoming to wander into their office to visit…a public school with a private touch.
