Changing financial laws and corporate regulations in addition to
greater scrutiny of business finances are fueling the growing
demand for accountants.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics forecasts employment in this sector
will grow by an impressive 22% by 2018 — outpacing the average
growth rates for all occupations.
You can prepare for this flourishing field through the Master’s of
Science Degree Program in Accounting at St. John’s University.
Offered by the Peter J. Tobin College of Business, the program
prepares students for certification as New York State
C.P.A.s.
