Student Stories
Sharing classes with students from all different backgrounds and walks of life was incredibly valuable—especially as I entered the public accounting industry. The energy on campus made the experience even more meaningful, and the professors in the College of Management truly care about their students. A few of them inspired me so much that I went on to become an adjunct professor myself, a role I’ve held for the past two years at Stonehill College.Ciro C. ‘17
My life would have been very different had UMass Boston not been there for me. The College of Management prepared me incredibly well for an amazing professional journey by providing me with an affordable option at a location where I could work in my chosen field in finance. This provided me with a huge advantage when I graduated. I passed the CPA exam at 1st sitting while still a student, which speaks to the quality of the course content.Mary T. ‘83
