The goal of the various academic associations on campus is to expand on the knowledge learned in the classroom. These associations help students to better understand their field of interest through guest speakers, field trips, and other educational and fun programs. Furthermore, this additional exposure outside of the classroom helps to promote professional development and to create networking opportunities.
Accounting Club
The Moravian College Student Chapter of the Institute of Management Accountants (Accounting Club) was chartered on March 16, 1993 with 32 student members. The Moravian College Accounting Club regularly offers programs that assist students of all majors with career goals. Our mission is to sponsor events and activities that benefit the general campus by promoting a better understanding of accounting, finance and business in general. What makes the accounting club outstanding is its commitment to adopt challenging goals, to plan carefully for success, and to execute its plans vigorously. The club meets regularly and is committed to advancing the academic and professional careers of accounting students. Students better understand the accounting profession through guest speakers, field trips, and other programs. The club also helps non accounting students by giving them exposure to the business world and shows them how they can be successful in their future career through a number of talks relating to career opportunities.
