While I am waiting for my scores, which will be released in a week, I try to find schools for my master degree.

I am currently living in Minnesota but I want to move to East Coast to do my master degree. Does anyone know any schools in East Coast with reasonable price ( I can pay around $20,000 per year) and have big 4 and other accounting firms recruit on campus?

Thank you!!!

University of New Hampshire. Only about 30 kids each year. Very Big 4 and regional firm oriented. They come to campus to recruit and do networking events all the time. Only about an hour from Boston. And it's a one year program

James Madison University (JMU Dukes)

In 2010, JMU's MSA program had the highest CPA pass rate among all public universities in the country. Big 4 recruiters are seemingly always on campus. They are of course at all of the formal recruiting events, of which there are a lot. Additionally, they set up displays in the lobby of the College of Business and do meet and greets to reach out to the student body. They offer hot chocolate and snacks just to get the students to talk to them. It is also one of the most affordable universities of which I am aware.
