What our students say about the Accounting program
“The Accounting program at SAU is an intersection between my interests in Business, Economics and Math. It has been a very valuable opportunity to learn from top professors like Dr. David Globig. With course content that challenges students with assignments, presentations and concepts like internal auditing, the program emphasizes being prepared. Personally, I know I am being prepared for a career as a certified public accountant and for an eventual Master’s degree. This is especially because of the expertise I continue to gain while applying the course content ethically and with integrity.”
