APPLIED SCIENCE PROGRAMS OF STUDY
Accounting
The Accounting Curriculum is designed to provide students with the
knowledge and the skills necessary for employment and growth in the
accounting profession. Using the “language of business,” accountants
assemble and analyze, process, and communicate essential information about
financial operations.
In addition to course work in accounting principles, theories, and practice,
students will study business law, finance, management, and economics.
Related skills are developed through the study of communications, computer
applications, financial analysis, critical-thinking and ethics.
Graduates should qualify for entry-level accounting positions in many types
of organizations including accounting firms, small businesses,
manufacturing firms, banks, hospitals, school systems, and governmental
agencies. With work experience and additional education, an individual may
advance in the accounting profession.
Because the use of computers is integral to this curriculum, some courses
are delivered in an online format.
