Accounting is one of the most rapidly expanding fields in today’s economy. Since it is service oriented, it involves working with people almost as much as with financial records. Accountants not only collect and report financial data, but they also serve as the link between the data and the people who use it. The Accounting Certificate of Achievement is designed for individuals with an associate degree or higher who have satisfied basic skills, general education and mathematics requirements. Permission of the department chairperson may also be required.
