Graduate degree: Master of Accountancy in Governmental Accounting

“Directly related to my completion of Rutgers's Master of Accountancy in Governmental Accounting, I was promoted to budgeted/payroll accountant at my current employer, Port Arthur Independent School District, which I gladly accepted. The same day, a recruiter contacted me for a position at a public charter school. These opportunities are a testament to the Master of Accountancy in Governmental Accounting program. Due to the rigor and practicality of the coursework, I feel confident in my ability to take-on whatever duties are delegated my way. While the online format of the program provided crucial flexibility, collaboration between professors and students was fostered to ensure a unique learning experience. I felt connected to other students and the professors.”
