My Academic Plan
Program Description
This accounting certificate prepares students for job entry into a wide variety of clerical and technical positions that have a recordkeeping or bookkeeping component. In consultation with an accounting faculty advisor, the certificate can be tailored to meet the needs of students who have already achieved significant skills and knowledge in basic accounting fundamentals and/or computer applications. The program assumes that students have previous knowledge and skill in basic computer applications in a Microsoft Windows operating environment. Students without prior computer experience should remedy any computer deficiencies before beginning the certificate course of study. Consulting with an accounting faculty advisor is strongly recommended before beginning the accounting certificate program.
