I decided to study abroad because there is a movement towards standardizing accounting methodology due to increased global business dealings and the needs of firms and corporations with a presence in foreign and domestic markets. Understanding the European perspective would be an asset to understanding international client needs.

I would recommend study abroad to any student. In addtion to the traditional single student, married couples and parents traveling alone (like myself) have successfully enjoyed and completed study abroad experiences. As an older student, I sought out working professionals in similar fields to my own, as my experience was one of professional and personal development.
