The demand for accounting graduates remains strong.
Starting salaries for top accounting graduates range

Numerous NSU accounting graduates own public
accounting practices as CPAs . Employers often
hire accounting graduates because of their
analytical background even though the positions do not
encompass typical accounting responsibilities.

to work as an accounting intern while earning up to six hours credit.

Finance graduates are highly sought by firms such
as securities dealers, stockbrokers, insurance
companies, mortgage lenders, banks, and other
financial institutions. Because of their analytical
background, finance graduates are also being employed
to work alongside accountants in analyzing financial
statements and performing other types of financial
analysis. Recent starting salaries for top students
range from $35,000 to $45,000 with many of the
graduates also compensated on a commission basis
with such firms as ONEOK, American Express, Samson

Stanley and Edward D. Jones. Internships for finance
graduates often lead to full time employment after graduation.
