Learning about the accounting field from professionals
Our accounting classes are not dry and theoretical. We take field trips and invite industry professionals into our classrooms. Activities such as these allow our students to benefit from the insights and knowledge of those who have years of experience in the field. Classes have visited local governments, area non-profits and regional businesses to see how accounting professionals function in real-world settings.
