Accounting
Accounting is a fast-growing profession with a very diverse career path. Careers include management positions, jobs at international accounting firms, counseling in personal financial planning matters and owning your own accounting practice.
“What helped me most during my years at CU was the importance of relationships in every area of my life. Faculty and staff were always attentive to areas outside of work/classroom. While dollars and cents are important in my line of work, personal relationships really fuel the success of the client/service provider relationship. Personal attention to these relationships is what is critical to developing a long term working relationship.”
