Accounting

Public, private, and government accounting provide the greatest range
of career possibilities. Professional accountants are normally certified
as public accountants (CPA) or managerial accountants (CMA) after
passing the appropriate professional examinations.


Drexel’s co-op program provides an added advantage to accounting
students who plan to practice locally; time spent working in co-op
positions as a student is often accepted as part of the two years of
accounting experience needed for CPA certification in Pennsylvania.

Drexel’s accounting graduates accept positions in public accounting,
private industry, government, and nonprofit organizations. Many also
choose to continue their studies in graduate schools, pursuing such
degrees as the MBA, master’s in taxation, or the PhD

Overall, Drexel’s graduates enjoy a high placement rate.
nternational business graduates are employed in a variety of corporate settings, including the pharmaceutical, banking and telecommunication industries. Some students pursue graduate studies or find employment in multilateral governmental organizations.
