How is increasing demand for accountants affecting your program?
“It is exciting to be associated with a school like Bridgewater College. Higher education represents the wellhead of the pipeline for accounting careers. The dynamics of the accounting profession as well as the means by which education is being delivered are evolving quickly. Creating and maintaining professional networks within the accounting and education professions can serve as compasses in navigating the changes. Associations like the VSCPA and the IMA [an association for accountants and financial professionals] are valuable in fostering helpful professional networks.”
