The Accounting curriculum is designed to provide students with the knowledge
and the skills necessary for employment and growth in the accounting
profession. Using the “language of business,” accountants assemble and
analyze, process, and communicate essential information about financial
operations.
In addition to course work in accounting principles,
theories, and practice, students will study business law, finance,
management, and economics. Related skills are developed through the study of
communications, computer applications, financial analysis, critical thinking
skills, and ethics.
Students may pursue an
Associates Degree, Diploma, and or Certificate.
Go to the
Martin
Community College 2006-08 Catalog for complete program requirements and
course information. A program course outline or graduation "Check
Sheet" is available online at the
Student Access Center.
