“My internship at BCS did a great job of combining meaningful, hands-on work with the things I had learned in the classroom at ETSU; I was able to see how auditing concepts are actually applied in the field. The auditors and staff were always helpful and open to my many questions, and the experience as a whole guided me towards pursuing a career in public accounting.”
