The most crucial indicators of the importance given to accounting education in a certain country and its calibre are the number of accounting lectures in the curriculum of the programs offered in the universities and the content and credit of these lectures. Therefore, in order these accounting educations to be compared among countries these three fundamental factors should be taken into consideration. The purpose of the study is to present the similarities of and differences between undergraduate-level accounting education in the higher education institutions located in Turkey and the United States of America.
