Through a partnership with Bowling Green State University, each year a Heidelberg accounting major earns a scholarship for BGSU’s Master of Accountancy (MAcc) Program. Earning the MAcc provides the additional hours of education required for CPA licensure while also better preparing students for the CPA exam and careers in accounting.
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.
