Effective July 26, 2011, this program is no longer available for future enrollments
An increase in the number of businesses, changing financial laws and regulations, and increased scrutiny of company finances will spur the job growth of accountants and auditors. Increasingly, accountants also are assuming the role of a personal financial advisor. In response to market demand, these financial specialists will offer more financial management and consulting services as they take on a greater advisory role. In addition to openings resulting from growth, the need to replace accountants and auditors who retire or transfer to other occupations will produce numerous job openings.
The Associate of Applied Science in Business Administration (AASBA-ACC) degree programs are designed to equip you with a variety of basic accounting skills that will be useful in an entry level accounting position. The curriculum provides you with an opportunity to develop intellectual, interpersonal and communication skills that are needed to succeed in the business world.
