“My experience at UNT was extraordinary. The accounting education and mentorship I received at UNT have served as the building blocks for my career advancement in public accounting. The BS/MS program fully prepared me to sit for the CPA exam, and I was able to pass all four sections of the CPA exam before graduating. In addition to the guidance and strong education, the professional development course prepared me with the soft skills necessary to gain an internship and successfully earn a full-time position upon graduation.”
