Why Did You Choose to Attend the Texas McCombs MPA Program? I was initially attracted to the MPA program by its excellent reputation. What has kept me in the program, though, is the dedication of the world-class faculty and universal appeal of the degree.
Why Did You Choose Accounting for Your Master's Degree? Experts in accounting are sought after in nearly every business discipline, even beyond traditional assurance and tax roles. I knew a graduate degree in accounting would provide me not only with valuable technical and quantitative skills, but also with "softer" skills pertaining to communication and decision-making.
