AMERICAN SOCIETY OF WOMEN ACCOUNTANTS
PARTNERS WITH HERZING UNIVERSITY
(McLean, VA, January 4, 2012) – The American Society of Women Accountants (ASWA) is pleased to announce a new partnership with Herzing University. Through this strategic partnership, Herzing University will provide ASWA with educational content and extend discounts on educational resources to ASWA member students and professionals in the accounting and finance professions.
"The American Society of Women Accountants is pleased to partner with Herzing University – a woman-owned enterprise – to provide educational resources to members pursuing their degrees in accounting and finance, as well as professional development and continuing education opportunities,” said Monika Miles, CPA, ASWA National President. "Providing access to Herzing University's educational resources is a valuable benefit that helps ASWA members advance their careers.”
The American Society of Women Accountants is the only organization that solely represents the interests of women in the entire accounting and finance community. Women compose over half of accounting graduates in the United States so it is imperative for organizations like Herzing University to stay connected with ASWA members to ensure the availability of resources needed to succeed in the industry.
"We are thrilled to be working with the American Society of Women Accountants and helping to advance the careers of female accounting professionals through our many degree and continuing education programs in accounting, finance and business,” said Renée Herzing, president and an owner of Herzing University. "Our flexible learning options that enable students to attend classes on campus or online are especially attractive to busy professional women, and we believe they will appreciate the ability to continue their education from an associate degree to a master's degree with a single higher education institution.”
As part of this partnership, Herzing University will waive the enrollment fee and extend a 5 percent tuition reduction scholarship to ASWA members. In addition, ASWA members whose businesses and organizations participate in the Herzing Enterprise Learning Program will be extended an additional 5 percent tuition reduction scholarship for a total of 10 percent.
