Information and Programs for Accounting Students

Budgeting doesn’t have to become brain surgery. By doing certain things and watching spending habits, you can manage your finances and not become overwhelmed with debt.

Should I finish my 150 credit requirement before going for an accounting job, or should I get a job first and then worry about going back to school to finish the extra 30 credits? Should I pursue a Master’s degree to obtain the additional 30-hour requirement? If you’re asking yourself these questions, don’t panic. You’re not alone. Many young future CPAs are grappling with these issues.

When I was much younger, I always thought about my goals for the future and what career I would pursue. I had dreamed of teaching kids - until I was a sophomore in high school and was ironically inspired by one of my teachers. There was a new class being offered that my advisor thought would be a good fit for me: Beginner's Accounting.
