The need for professionally trained men and women to fill positions in business and industry is a vital concern of the Accounting Program.

The Accounting Program has three aims:

• To train students for entry level career positions in the accounting profession

• To provide students with an educational foundation to pursue advanced accounting studies at other four-year CUNY colleges leading to a bachelor’s degree

• To provide Spanish-dominant students the opportunity to learn accounting and to make a successful transition to an English-speaking work environment

The program is designed for professional training in two tracks: English dominant and Spanish dominant. A broad and comprehensive introduction to accounting is provided. Upon successful completion of these course requirements, the student is granted an Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree in Accounting.

After graduation a bachelor’s degree may be pursued. With appropriate experience and the passing of a state examination, students may qualify as Certified Public Accountants (C.P.A.).
