Cert in Accounting and Related Services

Anyone seeking a first job in accounting or bookkeeping, as well as graduates who want an accounting specialty to complement a previous degree, can use this certificate. Coursework covers the basic procedures of keeping books, working with QuickBooks and Excel, and accounting for payroll. A curriculum map proposes the order in which classes might be taken. All required accounting courses must be passed with a 2.0 or better, and students must also keep their overall average at 2.0 or higher. Credits from the certificate can later count toward the applied arts degree in Accounting, so students can build on what they have earned. The catalog describes the outcomes and course list, and the named contacts handle questions from prospective students.
