Accounting Major Lands a Dream Internship

Employers are specifically looking for graduates who understand both accounting and technology. In another college, you’d have to double major, but here both areas are built into the program. That’s a huge advantage. Because SUNY Delhi is a smaller school, I’m getting the personal relationships and career connections that you would expect from a private college.
