An additional opportunity available to students in UMD's accounting
program includes
participation in the UMD Accounting Club. This
organization of Accounting majors and
minors helps students participate in a number
of career experiences. Each fall, the
Accounting Club organizes a bus trip to the Minneapolis
Convention Center to attend the
Accounting and Auditing Student Conference, the
premier informational and recruiting event
for accounting students. In addition, the Club
organizes on-campus information sessions,
where firms and companies present information
about opportunities available in professional
accounting. They also organize informal social
events, such as bowling, skiing, or pizza
parties each semester. In the spring, the Club
organizes another trip to the Twin Cities
metro area to tour several of the largest companies
who recruit from UMD Accounting, such
as Cargill, Honeywell, Ernst & Young, and PricewaterhouseCoopers,
among others. These trips
provide an opportunity to network with accounting
professionals while learning more about
a variety of career opportunities. The club
also performs an annual audit of some
on-campus organizations.
