How does studying abroad fit with this major?

Accounting is of major importance to organizations in today’s business environment. It is used to provide quantitative information, primarily financial in nature, about economic entities that are intended to be useful in making business decisions. The Accounting Program at Ramapo College is flexibly designed to meet the needs of students who wish to prepare for the CPA Exam (150 credit requirement) and those who wish to pursue other career paths. Students are prepared for graduate studies in accounting, finance, management, public administration, international business, and law.

A global perspective and intercultural understanding is essential for accounting students who want to succeed in today’s business environment; especially since the world is becoming more globalized, and markets are becoming increasingly dependent on international collaboration and commerce. Studying accounting abroad will expand students’ academic and professional horizons. Understanding another culture and being able to communicate effectively is the key to successfully building bridges, both within the business world and outside of it.

Taking accounting courses abroad teaches firsthand, the inner workings of global markets and international trade. It also shows that you are capable of thriving in a challenging and multicultural environment. If you are hoping to pursue an international career in accounting, or even if you are simply looking to develop your professional experience before entering the workforce, studying accounting abroad is an excellent way to become a well-rounded student and acquire a skillset applicable to today’s increasingly diverse workplace.
