“This positive outcome is a reflection of the dedication to student learning that is a hallmark of our accounting faculty,” said Carl Drummond, vice chancellor of academic affairs and enrollment management. “Students in our post-Baccalaureate certificate in accounting receive outstanding academic preparation at a reasonable cost of tuition.”
