ASSOCIATE DEGREE IN APPLIED SCIENCE MAJOR IN ACCOUNTING 69 SEMESTER HOURS According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, a growing economy is expected to result in an increasing demand for accounting services. The large accounting profession ensures job openings, including many opportunities for temporary and part-time work. The Accounting curriculum provides students with the knowledge and skills required to move into this growing field. Career opportunities for accounting graduates include payroll clerk, accounts receivable/payable clerk, bookkeeper, and paraprofessional accountant. In smaller establishments, accounting clerks handle all aspects of financial transactions while accounting clerks in larger offices and accounting departments are more specialized. Their titles may reflect the type of accounting they do, such as accounts payable or accounts receivable clerks. Entry-level accounting clerks post details of transactions, total accounts, and compute interest charges. More advanced clerks may total, balance, and reconcile billing vouchers; ensure completeness and accuracy of data on accounts; and code documents according to company procedures. As organizations increasingly move to computerized financial records, more accounting professionals are using specialized accounting software on personal computers. Students planning to continue their studies at a four-year institution after completing this program will work with their advisors concerning transferability of credits.
