The faculty in the Business Department truly care about students at Wayne State. Throughout my time here, they’ve answered any questions I’ve had and given me guidance whenever I’ve asked. I’m in the process of pursuing my CPA license. This is something that Wayne State has prepared me well for. I have already accepted a job after graduation where I’ll be auditing banks and hospitals. This job requires a lot of teamwork, communication, and critical thinking skills, all of which have been a focus in my coursework here at Wayne State.
