Accounting (Specialized Associate Degree, 18 Months)

Accounting is for people who like numbers, and it's a lot more than recording debits and credits.

You'll focus on budgets, financial plans, and human resources. You'll also learn the accounting software used in most offices today.

Once you graduate, you'll find that opportunities exist with both large and small organizations where you might work independently or as part of a team. This degree leads to careers in a wide variety of areas that include public accounting, private businesses, banking, government, and community organizations.
