Heidelberg’s Accounting curriculum prepared me to be a creative problem solver by having a liberal arts approach to the profession. As the profession evolves, the liberal arts approach helps graduates adapt to new environments quickly. The current accounting professors are doing a wonderful job at getting students in front of gainful employment as the program continues to grow.
