Unlike many other programs, the required coursework for an accounting major at 成人抖阴also satisfies all of the requirements to sit for the Uniform CPA examination in Maryland.
What sets our accounting program apart? The invaluable professional know-how you’ll gain as an undergraduate. In our Applied Business Learning Experience program, you could participate in a paid internship at a:
