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 about this program, contact the Science,
Technology, Engineering, and Math Division (STEM), 3-401.
