Accounting, A.A.S. (Spring 2009)
Accounting is a crucial part of every business operation and the language that businesses speak. The associate of applied science degree program focuses on practical skills often required for entry-level paraprofessional positions. The internship course gives the graduate on-the-job experience working in an approved business. Two-year graduates may find positions as accounting assistants, accounting clerks and general bookkeepers. The accounting career program (see: www.jccc.net/home/depts/1202) is accredited by the Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP). For students wishing to transfer to a four-year college accounting or business program, this accreditation makes the transfer a smoother process. For more information, please contact the career facilitator (skleiner@jccc.edu) or a JCCC counselor.
