Businesses, from corner coffee shops to multinational corporations, face tremendous pressures to stay ahead of their competition — and to do it ethically. For business solutions they often turn to accountants, who bring a wide range of technical and personal skills.

THE MARQUETTE ACCOUNTING MAJOR

INTERNSHIPS. Marquette's location in downtown Milwaukee puts accounting majors within minutes of dozens of full-time, semester-long internships each year with national and local accounting firms, corporations and professional services firms. As a Marquette accounting major, you could also find yourself interning in Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles and New York.

GET TWO DEGREES IN FIVE YEARS. Our combined master's and bachelor's degree program for accounting majors meets the 150-hour educational requirements of Wisconsin, Illinois and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.

PRACTICAL AND ETHICAL. As an accounting major at Marquette, not only will you develop the analytical and communication skills the profession requires, you also will spend plenty of time developing the good ethical decision-making framework the profession demands.

LEARN FROM A NATIONAL LEADER. Marquette holds separate accreditation from the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, a distinction earned by less than 25 percent of the nation's — and only two of the state of Wisconsin's — accounting programs.

BIG LEAGUERS GET THEIR START HERE. The top financial executives of major corporations like Advance Auto Parts, Manpower, Marcus Corp., Milwaukee Brewers and Sprint were all once accounting majors at Marquette.

You might like the accounting MAJOR if you:

• Have keen math and communication skills
• Are an analytical thinker
• Organize information well
