This program is designed for students interested in the fields of general accounting, financial accounting, auditing, cost accounting, or management accounting in both the public and private sector. In all of these areas, records must be kept and financial reports prepared that provide the financial data needed to evaluate past performance and future operations. Compliance with Internal Revenue Service law and other government regulations requires that businesses maintain accounting records accurately and prepare appropriate reports. Graduates of this program are qualified for entry-level positions such as accounts payable or accounts receivable clerk, inventory manager, cost accounting clerk, junior accountant in public accounting firms, and full-charge bookkeeper in a motel or restaurant environment. Course work in computers further enhances employment opportunities, but a bachelor's degree in accounting is generally required for most professional positions. For more information, contact the Liberal Arts and Professional Studies Division in 3-301.
