What Our Students Say

"I chose Bay Path's MS in Accounting program because it demonstrated a distinct interest in helping students succeed through small classes and one-on-one attention. I also found the accelerated schedule attractive in terms of career growth and the chance for an immediate return on my educational investment. I really needed the flexibility of timing in the online courses. This allowed me to fit the rest of my life in (and sleep!) more readily.  I had several classmates that really reached out and connected with me in a positive way, which I really appreciated. Even though I only met one of my professors in person, I felt like there was a clear open door policy throughout the program. No question was too small, if I was willing to ask, they were willing to answer." - SerahRose Bissell G'17
