Cert in Accounting and Related Services

The Accounting diploma prepares students for entry-level accounting positions in workplaces that depend heavily on technology. It is taught at the Americus and Cordele campuses and totals 42 credit hours, starting with a general education core that includes English. Courses build academic, technical and professional knowledge that employers want, helping graduates get hired, stay employed and advance. Completers receive an Accounting Diploma. Students can begin in any semester. Applicants need a high school diploma or an equivalent credential, plus either a satisfactory placement test result or acceptable SAT or ACT scores, and they must be at least sixteen years old. Students who want to compare options will find that the catalog also notes that the college is accredited by the regional body SACSCOC. The curriculum balances general studies with technical accounting coursework, so graduates leave with both communication and numerical skills.
