Accounting Career Studies Certificate

If you have always wanted to work in the finance, taxation, banking, or related industries, then our Accounting Career Studies Certificate is an excellent way to get started down that path. The program will prepare students with an accounting background to qualify for entry-level employment.

Students will certainly take a number of accounting-focused classes within the curricula, but they will also be exposed to other kinds of classes, including giving them a look at some of the technology that is used in the industry. Classes like ITE 115 – Introduction to Computer Applications and Concepts or ITE 152 – Introduction to Digital and Information Literacy and Computer Applications can be selected as part of the students’ academic journey.
