I attended the University of Maryland Global College!

During my time there, I majored in Accounting and minored in Business Management!
What is Accounting?
Accounting is the study of methods involved in making a financial record of business transactions and the preparation of statements concerning the assets, liabilities, and operating results of a business. Accounting majors study economic and managerial perspectives on the relationships among business activity, economic outcomes, and evaluation of business performance.
What is Business Management?
Business management involves coordinating organizational activities to achieve its objectives and goals. This is done through functions such as planning, organizing, directing and controlling various aspects of operations, including finance, marketing and human resources.
Business management is distinct from business administration in that while business administration focuses on the day-to-day operations and administrative tasks within an organization, business management takes a broader view, encompassing strategic planning, leadership and decision-making processes that drive the organization forward.
