Why study Economics, Accounting, and Management at Central?
"I interview a hundred prospective students a year for entry level management positions in operations, engineering, and accounting, and you can always tell the student who has flourished in the small college liberal arts environment apart from the big school student. The small college liberal arts environment has allowed them the opportunity to be involved in sports, clubs and organizations. To be involved and be successful, they've had to master critical life skills such as time management, teamwork, and leadership all of which help them to get off to a successful start in their professional careers.
