AA/AS in Accounting

The Associate of Science Degree in Accounting trains people already working in, or hoping to enter, the accounting and finance field, combining theory with the kind of competencies employers expect day to day. The Management Institute for National Development delivers it online over roughly two years and seven months, and Jamaica's University Council has accredited the award. The University of the West Indies recognises it for normal matriculation and advanced placement into its own Bachelor of Science programmes, giving graduates a clear route to continue studying. Entry calls for five CXC passes at General Proficiency grades one to three, or equivalent GCE O-Level passes, including English Language and Mathematics; other comparable qualifications may be accepted case by case. Applicants who have completed, or are working through, the institute's Diploma in Government Accounting are given preference.
