In September of 2007, 37 accounting employers were on campus for our annual
Meet-the-Firms event. This annual
event always results in jobs and internships for accounting students. Currently, the department's top
accounting graduates start at salaries in the 50K range. The Department is highly excited and
energized by the tremendous opportunities available to its students.
The Accounting Department
has a highly successful internship program.
Every year via placement with employers, students participating in
the department's internship program get real-world exposure to the
accounting workplace. After
completion of the required 400 hours on-the-job, the students return to
campus where they enrich senior level classes with details of their work
experiences.
