USF Lynn Pippenger School of Accountancy

Ranked in the top 15 accounting programs in the "large programs," category, we are dedicated to student success and research leadership. With a $10 million gift from supporter Lynn Pippenger, we became the USF Lynn Pippenger School of Accountancy, but our quest remains the same: to create intellectual capital and produce graduates who are not only ready for today’s workplace, but who are also trained to be forerunners in tomorrow’s workforce.

Perhaps the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) summarized it best in its newly issued pamphlet: "Accounting: The One Degree with 360 Degrees of Possibilities": "…there's one degree that gives you the education to succeed at just about anything in the business world. It's an accounting degree. Accounting opens doors in every kind of business coast to coast…In fact, no matter what you decide to do, having an accounting background can open doors wide."
