The programs are designed to give each student excellent skills in mathematical and computer skills, analytic and problem solving skills, oral and written communication skills, and strong interpersonal skills. As with other industries, technology plays an integral role in the accounting field. Computer applications, database and spreadsheet classes complement the core curriculum with an emphasis on computerized accounting applications. Co-op

A Certificate in Accounting will also provide the opportunity for individuals without a degree to advance by developing expertise and technical skills in the challenging and rewarding field of accounting. The accounting certificate program is designed to open career avenues for those seeking employment in accounting, as well as those wishing to enhance already established careers in other fields.
