Associate of Science - Accounting

The primary objective of the Accounting Program is to prepare students for the full range of responsibilities which professional accountants are expected to assume. Fulfillment of these responsibilities requires both a high level of technical knowledge and a profound awareness of the context and consequences of professional decision-making. Further, the program satisfies the academic requirements to sit for the Certified Public Accountant (CPA) examination, the Certified Management Accountant (CMA) examination, and the Certified Internal Auditor (CIA) examination.

Completion of the minor in Accounting program provides a core of fundamental accounting courses enhancing any business-oriented course of study. Completion of the two-year accounting degree provides the student with a background suitable for either clerical or paraprofessional work in the accounting field.
