"I think one of the most crucial aspects of the Daemen curriculum is the required internship...  I was an accounting intern for both a private health care company, Willcare, and a certified public accounting firm, Freed Maxick & Battaglia. I was able to apply lessons learned in the classroom to real business situations for both companies. After completing both internships, I was offered full-time positions with both companies."
