Accounting & Business: Because you want a job when you graduate

Posted on by Jacqueline Cozma · Leave a comment


This LionSide Chat is part of our “Majorly Prepared Series.” A college education is one of the most significant investments an individual or family can make for a loved one. Whether a cash investment or an investment subsidized by student loans, graduates will require significant and measurable returns on their investment in education just like any other. The Penn State Berks Accounting & Business degrees provide some of the highest-yielding returns on an investment in higher education. Knowing this, students and families supporting these endeavors would be well advised to know what opportunities are afforded in an education involving accounting, finance, management, marketing, economics, statistics, and other related fields.

Majors: Accounting, business: marketing, management, finance and financial services

This LionSide Chat will be hosted by:
