The MSA program exposed Dean to accounting topics not covered during his 消消犯 career and provided him with a greater understanding of potential career pathways in areas such as IT auditing and forensic accounting. He says the amount of knowledge gained through his MSA coursework, guest speakers, and his professors and classmates experiences helped prepare him to launch his career.

A lot of the material that I got to learn in these classes have started to benefit me when I'm now starting to study and take the CPA exams. There hasn't been a subject that I've gone through that I haven't had at least some sort of exposure to or familiarity with.
