Associate in Accounting

Rapid advances in technology, including point-of-sale terminals, automated teller machines, optical scanners and use of local area data transfer networks, have dramatically changed the work responsibilities of accountants like bookkeepers and financial clerks. Instead of simply entering data, they are now required to perform a broader range of professional accounting tasks such as tracking financial records and transactions, as well as payroll handling and billing functions. These accounting degree holders have the knowledge, skills and abilities to function as entry-level professionals in a wide range of positions in public accounting, non-profit organizations and government.
