and government oces meet the highest standards.
Students graduating from reputable accounting
programs are in high demand and have opportunities
to immediately apply their knowledge in the workplace.
Accounting rms, government oces, banks, nancial
institutions, law enforcement agencies, law rms,
business intelligence rms, and tax authorities are a
few examples of opportunities for accounting graduates.
The average starting salary ranges from $50,000 to
$65,000 in the New England area.
