The enthusiasm of everyone I have met at UT Dallas is what has influenced me the most. They are so kind and warm. People love to help you with your problems and share fun things during the conversation. Patience has made a deep impression on me and has helped me grow. Professors are always willing to answer my questions after class, and always confirm whether I understand what he/she said; Members in organizations teach me how to arrange my work and keep me on track, ensuring I would not make any mistakes. I would encourage new students to work more on their communication with people.

Nan Wang, Class of 2019
The high-ranking of the business school is the main reason for which I chose UTD. I wanted to study for my Master’s degree and at UT Dallas, I had a chance to study with professors who have a lot of industry experience and learn among many hard-working students. I have made a lot of new friends, who are very friendly and willing to help. The professors are also very professional and care about their students. Because of the many opportunities within the program, I have networked with many current students and alumni, who have shared a lot of tips and experiences. Through communicating with them, I have improved my academic performance and social skills. For future students, be active and get involved in all kinds of activities. Make more friends and try your best to get what you want.

After coming to UT Dallas, what has influenced me the most, are those who are around me. The dedicated professors, the diligent students, and every friend I have made here, always keep me motivated to become a better person. I have opportunities to meet different people every single day.

Because of this wonderful journey, there has been a huge improvement in my communication skills.
Max-Peter Quast, Class of 2018
UT Dallas offers the best value to international students. The program offers both academic excellence and professional networking opportunities galore. I chose UTD over other offers and have not regretted my choice. It is encouraged for anybody in the program to get involved in student leadership. Through this, I began being involved for the first time in my academic career. Make a plan of what you want out of your degree before you arrive. The best opportunities are at the beginning of the semester; to take advantage of them, you need to know what you want.
Sung (Ben) Il, Class of 2019
UT Dallas has a well-established MS Accounting program, which provides students with great classes to strengthen their academics, along with many opportunities to develop their professional skills. The economy in Dallas is growing, so international students like me have more opportunities to get a job after graduation. I joined one of the student organization called ASCEND where I served on the Professional Development Committee. I learned how to communicate with professionals via email and how to cooperate with others through organizing professional and academic events. I believe I developed many leadership and professional skills by actively participating in the organization. I would encourage all students to join student organizations in which they could make friends and learn many professional tips. By doing so, it will help you in your future endeavors.
Chuanhui (Cathy) Tang, Class of 2019
In my choice to come to UT Dallas, the flexibility to intern and the high ranking of Jindal School of Business influenced me the most. The thriving economy of the Dallas area also provided me with a lot of internship opportunities. I have had opportunities to get involved in networking and volunteering for events. This helped me become more comfortable introducing myself to others, taking initiative in small tasks and cooperate effectively with teammates. I also learned to utilize the strength of each team member, effectively sell my idea to the team, how to deal with conflicts, and challenge myself to learn new things, from working for a client in the business communication class.

Wonseok (Aiden) Go, Class of 2020
FSO Tax Staff, EY Dallas
I chose UT Dallas, … and I’m satisfied with my decision for several reasons. The program is flexible so that I can take classes based on my own interest. For example, we can take few general classes in the first semester and dig into one or two specific areas such as internal audit and tax. The Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex is one of the fastest growing areas in the U.S. There are a lot of job opportunities, so I was able to obtain several internships from a public accounting firm and the aviation industry. Everyone at UT Dallas is always willing to fully support each student not only about their professional careers but also other important aspects of school life, such as cultural differences, housing, hobbies and health. Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or concerns about the application, program, living in Dallas, and your professional career.

The memories and experiences here are things that I will definitely remember for a lifetime.
Nhi (Dahlia) Le, Class of 2021
Tax Intern, HM&M
I started out as a transfer student at JSOM in fall semester 2018. Being a junior at that time wasn’t easy. I felt overwhelmed because I needed to start by learning the smallest things, like the direction to Chick-fil-A or how to print my essay in the computer lab. It was easy to feel lonely at times because as a transfer student, I didn’t have as many established relationships with friends and the school’s faculty compared to someone who had attended UTD since they were a freshman. Read Dahlia’s full testimonial.
Noe Christian Herr-Perez, Class of 2020
Intern, PwC
I am a non-traditional student who transferred from Collin College, and I am currently one of the ambassadors of the Professional Program in Accounting. I am completing an internship at PwC ,where I hope to get a full-time offer. Being associated with the Peer-to-Peer Mentoring program helped ease my transition into UTD and has allowed me the opportunity to do the same for others and give back. These accounting programs have opened up doors I never thought possible and have given me every opportunity I could have asked for. It has been an honor meeting so many great individuals and being a part of the growth of the accounting program.
Monica Medina, PPA 13
Future Intern, PwC
Being a part of PPA has changed the course of my experience at UTD in the greatest way possible!

Ngan Vi, Class of 2021
Staff Accountant, Nancy K. Phillips PC
My best experience with the program is helping my mentees to know the opportunities that the UTD accounting program has to offer. I love sharing information about programs such as PPA, Undergraduate Accounting Club and Accounting Breakfast Club. Most of my mentees are transfer students, who do not know about the requirements for programs like PPA. Through email and events, I shared the step-by-step process to join the program. And I’m happy to know that the mentees I talked with during the welcoming event are now a part of PPA and one is on his first internship with one of the Big Four accounting firms

Abigail Muse, PPA 15
Moss Adams Tax
At Moss Adams, I had the opportunity to work on a wide variety of different types of projects and tax returns that gave me practical experience in how to provide client value and operate within the world of public accounting. Although my first tax returns seemed dauntingly insurmountable, my coworkers were always available to answer both short and long questions about aspects of work that I didn’t understand. I’m so grateful for how the PPA program and Moss Adams have trained me to succeed in public accounting and I look forward to rejoining Moss Adams full time after graduation.
Yijin Wang, Class of 2020
Current Student
Our program director and coordinator have always helped me whenever I had any questions, whether it be with my course selection, degree plan or CPA exam preparations. They are concerned about both me personally and professionally. They keep me in mind for whatever they find beneficial to me. Our professors are always willing to help and share patiently. I learned from all of them that I would not only pay back to them on how they have helped me, but also pay forward to other UTD students who need my help. I chose to come to UT Dallas because Senior Lecturer Mary Beth Goodrich explained how the master’s in accounting program at UTD can benefit me with both academics and social resources, and encouraged me to apply for it. Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions.
Rachel McKenna, Class of 2020
Current Student
I chose to come to UT Dallas due to the prominence of the business school, the accessibility of jobs in the Dallas area after graduation, proximity to my family, and the existence of the five-year Professional Program in Accounting (PPA). I stayed at UTD due to the people I met and built relationships with, and the positive learning environment I have experienced as a student. I felt it was important to me in starting here as a freshman to identify resources on campus that would guide me throughout college. One thing I have learned about UTD is that the resources are available, and taking the time to become informed about all UTD has to offer is well worth it!
Claude Owens, Class of 2018
Manager of Economic Development, PepsiCo
