Leveraging the M.S. in Accounting degree in the workplace
I’ve been able to think outside the box a lot more and become an effective communicator. I’ve also been able to hone a lot of the technical skills I developed at McIntire.
Advice for future M.S. in Accounting students
Participate in class—it’s a zero-risk environment in which to practice sharing your thoughts. Also, take advantage of living in Charlottesville—you will miss it.
Preparation for professional success and leadership in the workplace
You spend a lot of time working with your classmates at McIntire. It’s a similar environment in the work force, so after you graduate, there aren’t any surprises.
