This program has helped me develop a more well-rounded accounting skillset. My courses were intellectually challenging and pushed me to learn advanced accounting principles and develop a firm grasp of the accounting code of ethics that will be important throughout my career. I was given case studies that emulated projects I would take on working in an accounting firm that allowed me to develop the practical and technical skills I would need after graduation. This experience provided me with practical knowledge that has made me more confident heading into my role at KPMG.
