Most people have a preconceived notion of what an accountant does.

But the reality is that an accounting degree can take you down dozens of different paths.

With an accounting degree there are a multitude of things that you can do beyond just the

core accounting operations that you may be looking at.

Virtually every career can have accounting as a foundational element in it, especially

in business.

I know accounting majors who are running PR firms, who are running theatrical organizations.

Helping to understand the numbers in how a business or an entity runs is really key to

making sure that the organization will be successful.

Financials are the foundation of a company.

That's how we measure our performance at the end of the day.

So regardless of whether you move into operations, marketing, management, or whatever, the results

of a business come down to the numbers.

And that's just a launchpad for really any sort of career within a business.

At the University of Iowa you'll learn from world-class faculty and you'll build connections

with some of the most sought-after employers in the country.

As a starting point for a versatile business career, an accounting degree from the University

of Iowa...it's really hard to beat.
