For example, Beth Brooke-Marciniak, CPA and Global Vice Chair - Public Policy at EY, has once again been named to the Forbes List of 100 Most Powerful Women. Our graduates place nationally with Big 4 accounting firms, regional public accounting firms, Fortune 1000 companies, consulting firms, small corporations, not-for-profits and government agencies across the U.S. and internationally.
Four Outstanding Programs:
