Upon graduation, the students have extensive experience in working in groups, problem-solving and critical thinking, which are vital for a career in accounting. The school utilizes its professional network to invite a variety of business professionals to campus. Whether it’s providing a guest lecture, performing mock interviews or reviewing resumes, the students are getting feedback about the real world from accounting professionals. In addition, many of our students obtain internships and/or full-time positions with large, international accounting firms.
