Accounting Degree (M001)
Accounting is central to all businesses and organizations. Hence the need for accountants is always there in organizations whether it be a small retail store or a global conglomerate or a non-profit. The Accounting program at BCCC provides students with work ready, employable skills preparing them for future employment as Junior Auditors, Accounting Technicians, and/or Accounting Assistants. Many graduates transfer their credits to a four year university and/or take our courses towards qualifying academically for the Certified Public Accountant Exam. Prospective transfer students to four year universities should consult their preferred institutions as soon as possible concerning transferability of courses to that institution. Early and informed communication among the student, his/her BCCC Transfer Coordinator, his/her BCCC Advisor and the Advisor at the preferred four year institution will facilitate the transfer process more readily.
Suggested Sequence of Courses
** All BCCC students must meet the College’s Computer Literacy requirements to receive a degree or a certificate. All first-time, full- and part-time degree and certificate seeking students are required to complete the PRE 100 course within the first six credits.
