How good is the accounting program?

Hello! UofO has caught my attention and I'm considering whether or not I should apply as an aspiring accounting major.

I've read good things about the Lundquist College of Business as a whole, but I haven't found a ton of information about the Accounting program specifically. If anyone could answer some of my questions, it'd be greatly appreciated!

  1. How are the professors? Engaging? Helpful?
    - Have you had good experiences with them?

  2. How often do students get recruited from the Big4, if at all?
    - Are they recruited from any other firms that you believe are worth considering?

  3. What are the networking opportunities like in general?
    - Does UofO provide lots of resources (networking events, career fairs, etc)?

  4. How hard is it to find good internships?

  5. How do you feel about the quality of education?
    - In general, good? Bad? Could it have been better somewhere else?
    - Do you think what you learned prepared you for the CPA exam (if you took it)?

My roommate is currently an accounting major, so while I can't answer all your questions, I do know that the professors can be strict, but are overall pretty good. The amount of career fairs on campus as a whole aren't the highest in number, but when they do have them they have great tables. Some of the information taught in the classes can be seen as obsolete, however. Learning the longhand way of things, outside of help from excel or other programs, for example.
