Business Accounting and Finance
Associate in Arts and Science Transfer Option

Associate in Arts and Science Transfer Option

Accounting is often referred to as the "language of business". This is because the primary function of accounting is to provide key financial information to business stakeholders to be used in assessing the economic performance and condition of a business. Professional careers in accounting can be found in the following specialized fields: managerial accounting, public accounting, forensic accounting, cost accounting, not-for-profit accounting, tax accounting, and international accounting. Additionally, an accounting degree serves as an excellent springboard for careers in business, business management, business consulting, business information systems and for advanced degrees in business administration law. Those choosing to enter the field of accounting should have strong problem solving abilities, excellent oral and written communication skills, and quantitative skills.

Since programs differ at each college, students who intend to transfer should consider program outlines published by the college or university. The following recommended courses prepare students for most senior institutions. Students should prepare their quarterly schedules with the assistance of an advisor knowledgeable in this transfer area. See the Requirement Page for specific basic and breadth requirements for the Associate in Arts and Science degree.   The links you see below are for the pages where you will find the classes described.
