Accounting Society Introduction

The Accounting Society at Cal State San Marcos creates an opportunity for students to begin networking with professionals of the public, private, and government sectors. Our organization strongly believes that this networking needs to take place early on before the students are about to graduate, so we facilitate an array of events to make that connection happen.

Every semester, the Accounting Society hosts presentations from representatives of various organizations about once to twice a week. In addition, we hold a Career Connections, our version of Meet the Firms Night, once a semester, where students get a more personal interaction with professionals. Also, every Spring, The Accounting Society holds the Spring Banquet.

Overall, the CSUSM Accounting Society is a great opportunity for any student interested in accounting to get a head start on his or her career search and networking. We hope to see you get involved!
