MS Accounting, Cohort Class of 2021
MS Business Analytics, Cohort Class of 2021

I absolutely loved my time in the MS Accounting Cohort Program at UT Dallas! As someone coming out of undergrad with a more general degree feeling ashamed, this MS program gave me the confidence and backing to approach big name employers with ease, knowing that I had learned a valuable skill. In addition to the degree, the support that the faculty and staff poured out to us was incredibly warm and ever-present. I also loved being in the cohort program, which allowed for great activities throughout the year and an automatic network on campus. All in all, this program allowed me to get exactly what I was hoping for: respected credentials, community, and a great, full-time offer with a consulting company!

MS Accounting, Cohort Class of 2019

After working as a fund accountant for nearly two years, I went to UTD to pursue my master degree in accounting. This experience gave me an opportunity to be more independent, be exposed to comprehensive accounting knowledge and experience U.S. culture. I appreciate the journey and love the people I met.
