What will I learn?

Often referred to as the “Language of Business”, accounting has been one of the fastest growing employment fields in the nation. The profession has doubled in size each decade for the past four decades. Much of the demand for accounting services is created by the passage of new laws and regulations, additional requirements in corporate record keeping and disclosure practices, as well as changes in the tax code. Another contributing factor has been the creation of management information systems departments that offer consulting services to companies in the design and implementation of accounting information systems. Today, approximately one third of practicing accountants is employed by public accounting firms or is self-employed. A large number of accounting professionals work in the private industry, non-profit organizations, or local, state, and federal government. Salaries for those trained in the field of accounting are excellent and job security is good.

The curriculum does satisfy the major requirements for the Associate in Science degree and will enable students to qualify for clerking level accounting positions. Completion of extra elective courses will allow students to choose an area of specialization such as payroll accounting or tax preparation.
