The College offers three degree, three certificate, and two letter of recognition programs in accounting and business curricula.
The Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree recognizes curricular focus in a specific occupational area. This degree is intended primarily for immediate employment or occupational skills upgrading, but also provides opportunities for transfer to a four-year institution to complete a baccalaureate degree.
The Associate of Arts (AA) degree is intended primarily for transfer to a baccalaureate degree program, but may also be suitable for career exploration and skills upgrading. The degree programs include discipline and general education courses, range from 60-70 credits, and typically take a minimum of two years to complete.
The College’s Basic and Advanced Certificate options focus on a sequence of courses at the intermediate and advanced levels in the student’s chosen curriculum.
