Putting your MAcc Degree to Work
 |
Fisher’s small size works very much to your advantage as you prepare to transition from the classroom to the workforce. Career Management staff act as personal coaches in your job search. They get to know you personally and then collaborate with you to design a strategy that helps you focus only on those networking practices that emphasize and reinforce your strengths and interests. This means that all of your job search energy is focused on companies and industries where you have the strongest chance of a successful placement.
This one-to-one coaching is one reason why the Fisher College Office of Career Management is considered one of the finest in the country. With nearly 90% of our students placed within three months of graduation, Fisher College ranks #1 in the nation in placement success by the Financial Times. And you can count on moving quickly up the ladder once you are placed. According to the Financial Times, we are 2nd in the country in career progression.
Something else to consider in any MAcc program is the value recruiters place on the services offered to them at a given business school. The services we provide recruiters are ranked among the best in the country by the Wall Street Journal, which will only bode well for you.
The Career Management staff keeps their finger on the pulse of ongoing hiring trends and can anticipate and plan for changes in hiring practices and needs–which ensures that you can position yourself in the best way possible to potential employers. Fisher College graduates leave us in-step with the business community and equipped to hit the ground running wherever they find themselves.

Career Development
From the day you step on campus, you will find a variety of tools at your disposal all designed to provide you with professional enhancement and networking opportunities. As a MAcc student you are required to register and take advantage of Career Management programs as soon as they arrive on campus because the program’s short timeline makes it imperative if you are to find full time employment by graduation in June.
Fisher hosts high-profile business executives at our Executive Lunch series and during the Distinguished Speaker Series (DISS), sponsored by the International Programs office. (click for link to Exec.

Coursework is designed to hone and build confidence in your presentation and public speaking skills. There are also scheduled events to hit every aspect of your career development, including our professional polish series.
