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 ADVANTAGE

INTERNSHIPS. Marquette’s location in downtown Milwaukee puts you within minutes of dozens of full-time, semester-long internships each year with national and local accounting firms, corporations and professional services firms.

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

PRACTICAL AND ETHICAL. With Marquette’s curriculum, 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 Best Buy, Manpower, Marcus Corp., the Milwaukee Brewers and Sprint all earned their accounting degrees from Marquette.
