School of Accounting
The School of Accounting at the University of Georgia was established in 1977 and named the J. M. Tull School of Accounting in 1978. The mission of the J. M. Tull School of Accounting is to pursue excellence in accounting education. As a professional school in a major public research university, we are committed to teaching, research, and service that advance the accounting discipline and prepare future leaders for business and academia.
The Tull School offers three degree programs: a BBA in accounting, a Master of Accountancy (MAcc), and a PhD. Each of these programs has been recognized nationally in recent years as one of the top ten accounting programs in the country, among both public and private institutions.
The success of Tull students has been equally impressive. Tull BBA and MAcc students consistently finish among the top 10 schools in the country on the CPA exam, posting first-time CPA exam pass rates that are two and a half to three times higher than the national average. Most recently, Terry BBA graduates who took the CPA exam for the first time recorded an 83 percent pass rate that ranked No. 4 in the country among large programs (and within 1 percentage point of a No. 2 ranking).
In nine of the last 11 years, Tull MAcc graduates have been selected for prestigious and highly competitive Postgraduate Technical Assistant positions with the Financial Accounting Standards Board. Recent standout Tull students include FASB intern Bryan Davis and Susan Guo, a three-time scholarship recipient and Leonard Leadership Scholar, who also found time to serve as a teaching assistant.
