Student Experience
"This program offers a good deal of experience for anyone preparing for a career in the accounting profession. I feel I've learned a great deal at CLC. Recently that meant searching for and resolving accounting errors in a new payroll system for a large corporation. At another time it meant accounting for and gathering financial information for the Board of Directors of a non-profit organization. I appreciate the practical experience that the instructors bring to the classes and their understanding of the pressures students are under while preparing for a career and working full time. Ultimately, I hope to sit for my CPA certification. I highly recommend this program and CLC in particular." -Penelope Seibert
