What students are saying

“I have always heard that Mount Royal accounting students are better prepared for the ‘real world’ when they graduate. I felt I was fully prepared to take on any role my employer was to give me, and that confidence came from my schooling at Mount Royal.”

— Chris Love,
Bachelor of Applied Business Administration — Accounting alumnus

“My Mount Royal degree has given me many opportunities in my current position. The strong, technical education I was provided has enabled me to compete with the best. And the personal growth opportunities that the school presented through leadership activities and school supported, student organizations have enabled me to stand out at my firm.”

— Jonathan Reimche,
