The Accounting Industry Defined  
Monday, Nov 3 @5pm in Pamplin 1045
Accounting is the #1 most interviewed major at Virginia Tech. However, the top 10 largest employers of Pamplin ACIS students require that students are eligible to take the CPA exam. In order to take the CPA exam, students must acquire 150 hours of course credit. Unfortunately, almost one-half of ACIS students graduate without 150 hours and therefore forfeit some of these great opportunities.
