Accounting Programs in Texas

Accounting teaches financial reporting, audit, and tax, and it maps directly onto the CPA path. Starting roles in public accounting are standardized, which makes its earnings figures some of the most comparable across colleges.

Programs below are ranked only when a college figure rests on at least 100 graduates. Programs on 30 to 99 graduates carry a small-program flag and are listed, not ranked. Anything smaller shows the national median for the major, badged as such.
