We build on the role of finance and accounting in contributing to inclusive prosperity for global communities. In fact, people don’t often think about the impact of accounting rules and financial systems underlying our economy. Without clear performance frameworks, markets cannot be efficient. Practitioners in accounting and finance can thrive in their career and have a profound impact on business and society. -Monica Borgida, Faculty Lead
The demand for information technology talent continues to increase, and this trend will only grow over time. Our program provides hands-on experience with the tools that employers expect. But even more importantly, our program fosters the critical thinking skills that help make sure our students will be able to handle future skills and tools that our profession hasn’t yet invented. We help students develop the communication and teamwork skills that IT professionals use to understand business needs and work with a variety of users to create highly effective solutions.
