   Our average class size for a typical accounting course is 25 - 30 students. This enables students to participate in class discussions and ask questions in a friendly environment.

   We have one-on-one advisement between a student and a faculty member. You will have personal contact with your accounting faculty advisor from the start to help you develop your educational and career plans.

   What more can we say about the Champlain Valley and the Adirondack Mountains. The location is GREAT! Please visit the campus and see for yourself how beautiful it is.
