Accounting Graduates Continue to Shine

Accounting graduates of the UW-Madison School of Business continue to match up against the best in the nation in terms of CPA Exam pass-rate rankings.

For undergraduates (BBAs) taking the test nationally between 1993 and 2002, UW-Madison graduates ranked fourth nationally. For graduate students (MACCs), UW-Madison students ranked third nationally for the same time period. The MACC students were ranked third nationally on the May 2002 test (with a 73% pass rate) and four nationally on the November 2002 test (with a 58% pass rate). The results were given in the October 2003 edition of Wisconsin CPA, a publication of the Wisconsin Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
