68-credit associate of applied science degree
Accountants are consistently in demand
because today’s fast-paced, ever-changing
business environment depends on sound
financial decision-making. Accounting
professionals prepare, interpret and
analyze financial information. To prepare
for an accounting career, students will
learn the fundamentals of accounting,
managerial analysis, cost accounting
principles, income tax basics and
microcomputer accounting applications.
In addition, students will gain an
extensive education in computer skills,
including accounting-based and
business-related software.
Graduates may find employment in
accounting firms, financial departments
of private businesses and government
agencies. As the “business language,”
accounting is a profession as well as a
sound preparation for other careers.
