Accounting is one of the study program in Faculty of Economics of Universitas Terbuka (UT). Since it was opened in 2006, the number of students increases rapidly. Due to the distance learning system conducted by UT, the learning process of some subjects in accounting needs to be modified. For example the practicum can be conducted through dry lab. This condition requires accounting students to be familiar with technology, especially internet. This research attempts to find out factors irifluencing the decisions to choose accounting as a study program. To know these factors, factor analyses and mean value is employed. The factor analyses shows that factors which influence students to choose accounting are reputation, flexibility, facility and reference group. Otherwise, the mean value shows that the most affecting variable toward the decision to choose accounting was flexibility.
