Program Overview

The technical skills of a qualified accounting professional are needed by every business in America, large or small.  The Accounting Technology program provides students with the basic knowledge of accounting processes necessary for employment.  After completing the program, students will be able to record day-to-day financial transactions and prepare summary statements of business conditions.  Computers are implemented in performing accounting functions and preparing reports.  As a capstone training experience, it is highly recommended that students complete a one-semester internship in an accounting technician trainee position.  This internship allows students to apply learned competencies to on-the-job situations.
