After becoming a college graduate, my life has become stable and successful.

Now that my children are older, and my significant other is well into his own career path, I feel this is the perfect time to refocus on my next educational endeavor. Obtaining a master’s in professional accounting will help me become successful in my new position as a Finance Director. Vice versa, the on-the-job training from the previous Finance Director of 10+ years and the real-world experience of business at the company will also contribute to my learning at CSU-Global
