What Our Alumni Say…
- “Accounting is like an inflected language. You have to put together a whole bunch of disparate pieces into a coherent whole. There are subtle shades of gray.“
- Classics major; Partner in Accounting Firm
- “Accounting was my hardest class. I hated every minute of it. But then my first job out of college was as a bank teller. Since then I’ve used my accounting knowledge at home, in my volunteer organizations, and on my job. It’s a necessary life skill.”
- English major, Administrative Assistant
