Associate Dean of Belmont’s Massey College of Business Dr. Joe Alexander said, “We are delighted that TFE is now confirming what so many of our public accounting employers tell us about the high quality of our accounting programs. Certainly, our graduates are prepared to pass their CPA exams, but with our additional programming in areas such as ethics, global leadership and entrepreneurial thinking, Massey accounting grads are ready to add value to their employers at the time of hire.”

The program is AACSB accredited, and the Massey Graduate School of Business has been lauded by U.S. News & World Report and the Princeton Review as one of the top business schools in the country.
