“The technical skills I gained through the accounting program at Georgetown, as well as the personalized attention and support I received, equipped me to complete internships in public accounting and industry, attend graduate school and obtain a Master’s of Science in Accountancy, and pass all four parts of the CPA exam on the first attempt. Six years later, as I plan and execute financial statement audits at EY, I still leverage my foundational knowledge from Georgetown.”
