Learn About The Program

This course is a case-based course in which students will explore accounting and business situations and engage in meaningful conversations. Rather than just reading about these situations, students engage with CFOs who grapple with these issues every day and develop real life perspective on how they are handled. This course can also help students who are still exploring what area of business they are most interested in.
