The applied accounting program provides training for entry-level accounting positions in payables and receivables, bookkeeping and payroll accounting. This convenient online program also covers financial decision-making tools for the small-business operator.
This program is a great entry point for students who are considering careers in business or want to take the next step in their current jobs. Because the applied accounting certificate counts as the first year of training toward the associate degree in applied accounting, it’s also an excellent option for students who may be interested in pursuing additional education down the road.
This 30-credit online accounting certificate program includes a broad selection of business accounting classes. Courses will enable you to develop a foundation of knowledge in accounting principles, payroll accounting, accounting software systems, and income tax. The program culminates with an accounting capstone event.
