A bachelor's degree in Accounting gives you the means to prosper in just about any field in the business world. Accounting opens career paths in every kind of business throughout the country and abroad. Accounting is defined as the ‘Language of Business’ and this language is used by every large and small business and organization. Whether your career path in accounting leads to financial planning, financial reporting, analysis of financial performance, tax reporting, budgeting, managing accounting systems, regulatory compliance, external or internal auditing, and/or strategic planning does not matter because all businesses use accounting information. As the saying goes, ‘The sky is the limit.’ The demand for accountants continues to grow while the industry appears to be in short supply.

At 国产哟哟 you are not a number; you are an individual with the power to change the world. Each course has a different set of requirements. Some require you to work in teams of your peers to create a presentation, while other courses require you to think more creatively and come up with a unique solution to a problem. My courses prepared me greatly for my internship with a small CPA firm in Bloomfield, Connecticut. I learned the entire procedure of processing tax returns, established professional relationships, and gained useful work history." - Samantha, Accounting & Legal Studies Double Major
