Description
Business decisions are only as good as the information that they rely upon, and it is accountants who analyze, record and disseminate that information. In fact, our economy rests on a foundation of financial information that is captured and presented by accountants. This program prepares students for entry into the accounting profession and related fields at the paraprofessional level immediately upon graduation. In addition to developing strong foundation of accounting and business coursework, students will strengthen skills in communication, quantitative methods, and technology.
