Several business schools offer a PhD in economics (mine does not).  Recommend you select a region and then contact business schools in that area.

I understand you are looking for an opportunity to study, but I must warn you that even if you do find an accredited online Ph.D. program (which I doubt you will), it will not be held in any esteem in academia, or in the working world.\n\nPh.D. study involves close and personal mentoring, hands-on research (oftentimes in a lab, or in the case of psychology, clinical experience), and sustained intellectual community.  No online program can offer these things, and therefore accredited programs do not even attempt to provide Ph.D. level study online.\n\nI urge you to look for a respected and accredited Ph.D. program.  These programs will indeed demand residency, and although this may be inconvenient or even prohibitive for you, it really is the only way.

What about Australia? How about the University of Adelaide. It's one of the oldest universities in Australia and is considered as one of the most prestigous. They have a very good 3 year Bachelor of Commerce (Accounting) degree which many international students study.\n\n(Many of my friends from school have secured jobs in accounting/consultancy firms, such as Ernst & Young and Deloitte) before even finishing this degree.\n\nVisit: http://www.adelaide.edu.au/\nSchool of Commerce: http://www.commerce.adelaide.edu.au/\n\nThe Adelaide Graduate School of Business is also great if you decide to do postgraduate studies, including an MBA.\n\nA

University of Kentucky is good right now but its only going to get better. The presidents goal there is to make the UK business school one of the top 20 ranked business schools.  just realize that there will be increased tuition because of this because everything costs money. I am in the gatton college of business and economics there and its going to run you about 3200 dollars a semester for in-state.  Its a great school and it will of course look good on a resume.

Harvard Buisness school is the best. Look into Yale and Oxford.

To be an accountant, you will need a college education. If you have an accounting class available, then obviously take it. Any other business related classes are also advisable.  Make sure that you have acceptable math skills, and any computer classes you can take would be great.\n\nThe important part will be once you get into college.  Make sure you get into a university with an accredited Accounting program. You can find a list at the AACSB website:\n\nhttp://www.aacsb.edu/accreditation/AccreditedMembers.asp\n\nOnce you get into college, talk to your advisor about possible education paths. States now require that you have 150 credit hours of university to complete the Certified Public Accountant (CPA) exam.  Some people choose to do a dual degree, but most instead decide to get a Masters of Accountancy degree (MAcc).  \n\nAccounting is a great area if you enjoy it.  Most people still associate accounting with "bookkeeping" but you can't be farther from the truth. Additionally, Sarbanes-Oxley has greatly increased the demand for accountants, although that demand likely will go down in the near future.

Depending on your background, go for a Bachelors in Accounting.  Many firms hire fresh graduates as trainees.  If doing Bachelors is not an option for you then buy some books on Fundamentals of Accounting.  Once your basics are strong, you can start applying for trainee jobs.  REMEMBER: there is not much growth without a proper degree.

It depends on where you plan on attending and the amount of classes that you plan to take. You need to research the schools that you may be interested in attending for more information.

There are a number of schools, including all of the Big Ten.\n\nSince a PhD is so particular, you should consider whether to go into theory, broadcast journalism, print journalism, interpersonal communication, etc.\n\nAnnenberg, Penn, UC-Berkeley, Oklahoma (for political comm), are all good choices.

Right now, probably University of Chicago.\n\nYou can research standings in US News and World Report and in Petersen Guides.  Also check out Financial Times rankings of economics grad programs.\n\nFinally, find a reputable economics journal and contact the editors - they should be happy to help you... heck, they should be happy that you actually saw their journal.
