AA/AS in Accounting and Related Services

This transfer degree builds knowledge of financial concepts alongside analytical thinking and solving problems. Students practice accounting, taxes and business applications, and they improve the written and spoken communication employers seek. Graduates may start in entry-level jobs in accounting and finance or move on to a bachelor's program. The degree covers the early portion of a four-year accounting curriculum, so credits are intended to carry over smoothly. This is a transfer-oriented associate of science degree at Tompkins Cortland Community College, built to cover the opening two years of a four-year program. It follows a defined course sequence, and students work with an advisor to match electives to the school they intend to attend. Graduation requires 60-61 credits and a 2.0 GPA or higher.
