Hell the Bears can't claim to be the top accounting school in the state according to the MS CPA exam results from the past few years. I know they like to blow their horn about accountancy and their college of business. But I think the accountancy school at MSU which I went through is pretty damn good. <div>

I double majored at MSU's business school in Accounting and Banking and Finance. It certainly wasn't a walk in the park. I remember some of my old high school friends who went to Ole Miss who also majored in accounting used to brag about how hard their accounting dept was. But I **** you not, they used to call me and ask me to "help" them on some of the most basic ****. I was honestly shocked...

After that experience, I like to think of them claiming 3 national championships just as much of BS as their accounting dept is when compared to other institution's programs.
