WHAT DO OUR
GRADS DO?
Many graduates go directly into careers in accounting,
finance, human resources, marketing and other areas of
business. Some obtain work within the government or
non-profit organizations.
Others pursue an MBA (or other Master’s degree program),
go on to law school or attain post-graduate professional
designations, including the Chartered Professional
Accountant (CPA) professional experience program.

“Throughout the MOS program, I was

challenged to participate and have my voice
heard in the classroom, which was key to
my education. The MOS classes were small
and the professors knew me well, so I was
encouraged to develop my ability to state
my thoughts within these safe environments.
This taught me to be confident and build
strong communication skills, which has
been fundamental in my career where I
communicate through various mediums
with clients, managers and the teams I lead.”
