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. Terry BBA graduates who took the CPA exam for the first time in 2007 recorded a 78 percent pass rate that ranked No. 2 in the country. In 2008, Terry BBA grads ranked No. 4 in the country with a 74 percent pass rate. That same year, Terry MAcc grads ranked No. 6 in the country with a 73 percent first-time pass rate. In seven of the last 9 years, Tull MAcc graduates have been selected for prestigious Postgraduate Technical Assistant positions with the Financial Accounting Standards Board. The Tull School’s most recent FASB intern was Bryan Davis. Other standout Tull students include Susan Guo, a three-time scholarship recipient and Leonard Leadership Scholar, who also found time to serve as a teaching assistant.
