Tell me all what you learn differently in Accounting at Stanford then LSU. Cant wait to ask the accounting guys from Cornell tomorrow what they learned differently.

Well when you have some of the best and most connected business people in the world teaching you things like how to price securities in capital markets, how you should deal with things like corporate governance and executive compensation and how to design performance measurement and incentive systems etc you probably are better off than learning it from some dudes that live in BR.

Guys this shite is unreal. Check out what stanfords page says about accounting:

quote:
Research by the accounting faculty draws on economics, finance, and statistics and employs analytical and empirical methodologies to study issues such as:

The pricing of securities in capital markets, with a focus on the role of financial reporting and information intermediaries.
The design of performance measurement and incentive systems.
Best practices in corporate governance and executive compensation.
