AA/AS in Accounting and Related Services

The accounting program trains students to help organizations manage their money. It blends theory with practical work, and the skills apply in sectors as different as finance, entertainment and non-profit organizations. Coursework explains how business finances operate and also covers preparing taxes for individuals and companies, so graduates understand tax rules well enough to work in tax preparation. Learners also gain a clearer view of their own personal finances. Saint Paul College lists credentials in this area at the associate of applied science, diploma and certificate levels. The certificate can be completed in under a year. Graduates may join a company's finance team or advise businesses as consultants. The program details page on the college website gives further information on courses, costs and how to apply for those considering this field.
