Program Overview

The Accounting Program lays a foundation for positions in business and industry-specifically with accounting and bookkeeping firms, corporations and governmental agencies. Accountants compile and analyze business records and prepare financial reports, such as profit and loss statements, balance sheets, cost studies and tax reports.

As accounting procedures in business and industry become increasingly complicated, prospects in the field look promising. With an associate’s degree in accounting, students have the background needed to obtain a job in accounting with the possibility of advancing to the junior accountant level. For an accountant with further education, there are opportunities at the financial and managerial levels.

The primary purpose of an Associate in Applied Science degree is to prepare students for employment. The AAS degree is not designed specifically for transfer; however, there are opportunities to apply some coursework or the whole degree to a bachelor’s degree program. For more information, see an academic advisor and the department chair.
