Alumni Profiles

Josh Garrett '12

"The JBU College of Business did a superb job of preparing me for both graduate school and public accounting. I have been very well-equipped as a student and professional and have at no time felt under-prepared from an academic standpoint. The University of Denver has one of the top 10 accounting programs in the country and I felt prepared for all my classes there. As a professional, I have received consistent feedback that my foundation in accounting is extremely solid and that my undergraduate preparation must have been excellent."
