"The Master of Accountancy program prepared me well for a career in public accounting. The tax specialization allowed me direct entry, upon graduation, into the tax department of a national accounting firm, which was my goal. I was well prepared for the diverse challenges offered and the research skills necessary in a career as a tax specialist. Virginia Tech offers a very balanced program of learning for those who want a career in accounting. The professors are in touch with the skills that accounting firms desire, and they develop those skills in students both inside and outside the classroom. As an employer, we recruit the best graduates we can. Virginia Tech is an important school in our recruiting process because we know that any graduate will be a good addition to our firm."
