The accounting program at SRU is designed to help students excel in the "real world." Small classes allow students to interact one-on-one with Professors, and to form strong relationships with fellow classmates. The program also has a strong Alumni base which personally helped me to secure a job with the Big 4 right out of college.

I was able to refine my communication and problem-solving abilities through the various case studies and group work I was tasked with completing. I was also provided with many opportunities to network with finance professionals working in the field.”

“The finance program helped me grow critical thinking and analytical skills. I learned a wide range of financial material that stretched from corporate stock valuations to currency exchange arbitrage. The finance program also forced me to build better research and study skills that I did not have in high school. The program also helped me receive a job offer from BNY. The interview for BNY was mostly behavioral, so the club involvement, group projects, and communication with peers to complete coursework helped me during the interview process.”
