The Value of an Accounting Degree
You'll have your accounting degree, but in your work, you won’t just be an accountant. You need to have your business hat on as well as your accounting hat. You’ll be responsible for helping your organization and will have the unique opportunity to work across the entire organization. And, when you view yourself as a business partner to your entire organization, you’ll excel in your career.
