MEET A STUDENT
"I grew up in Korea, majoring in Business Management. After working at private companies for a few years as an accountant, I went back to school to advance my career. Being a full-time working professional with two little kids, Saint Mary's M.S. in Accounting program was a perfect fit. The hybrid format provided both online classes that are convenient and flexible and the on-site classes that provided personal interaction with our classmates and professors. Also, the SEBA Graduate Career Services prepared me well for the career fair so that I was able to secure a full-time offer at Armanino a year before my graduation date. I highly recommend Saint Mary's for those who are looking to advance in the accounting field."
