Alumni Experiences

Accounting is a hard subject, but the Saint Mary's faculty gave me the motivation to want to pursue it in the future.

Boot camp with Dr. Sankaran is one of the best parts of the program. There's someone helping you but not babying you. The M.S. in Accounting program at Saint Mary's is worth every penny; it's definitely worth it.

I would have never thought I would get into Deloitte. Joining Saint Mary's is what gave me that opportunity and platform. I'm happy that I made the best decision for myself.

Saint Mary's was a perfect fit. The hybrid format provided both online classes that are convenient and flexible and the on-site classes that provided personal interaction with our classmates and professors.
