Need Help with Deciding on an Online Accounting Masters Program

[chiqui163]

UConn could probably connect you to a current student/alumnus in NJ who could give you his/her opinion, but in my experience with graduate business programs, their networks and connections tend to be regional, if not national, except for the smallest schools. CT is practically next door to NJ, so I'd imagine that they'd have a good network there. If it was UConn vs Rutgers, I'd go with Rutgers, but Rider is a pretty small school and I think UConn's network would at least be competitive to theirs in NJ.

It's a coincidence that you say that. I was looking up Rutgers on the AACSB accreditation website and they are listed as accredited for their Business program in general, but not their Accounting program. That is a little surprising to me. I know that Rutgers has a very good reputation though. The other 3 schools, UConn, Rider University, and Stetson University all have dual accreditation for their Business and Accounting programs. That probably doesn't mean much, but I found that a little surprising.
