Program Overview:

The Associate of Applied Business Degree in Accounting focuses on accounting applications and principles, both manually as well as on the computer. The program gets the students ready for entry-level careers as payroll clerks, accounts receivable specialists and income tax clerks. As they obtain more practical experience and/or education, they can prepare themselves to apply for promotions to positions such as account managers, accountants and finance managers.

Office experts are the heart of the majority of businesses. Typical companies would soon cease operations without a dedicated, professional staff of secretaries, bookkeepers, administrators and managers. In order to succeed, a company requires professionals who keep operations running smoothly, and understand how to work with valuable corporate data.

The Associate of Applied Business Degree in Office Applications highlights software competency as well as business abilities. Graduates will be ready for starting positions as administrative assistants, word processors, and computerized bookkeepers. With extra employment experience and/or guidance, they may meet the criteria for development to such positions like office managers, software training coordinators, and database managers.

Career Outlook

With each passing day the need for advanced training and professional certification becomes more essential, since businesses continue to grow and use ever more complex technology. The Occupational Outlook Handbook for 2006 and 2007 declares that the greatest opportunities will be available to managerial assistants who are talented in a range of software programs.

Office professionals are the foundation of the majority of businesses. Most corporations would quickly cease functioning without the professional services of a myriad of support staff from secretaries to bookkeepers and office managers. A company requires professional staff to manage valuable corporate data, as well as keeping offices organized and operating smoothly.

Typical entry-level jobs include working as receptionists, secretaries or clerks. Responsibilities regularly comprise filing official procedure, easy typing, answering phones and welcoming guests. People with more advanced skills and experience would find more positions as secretaries and administrative assistants. These days, administrative assistants are expected to know much more than how to answer a phone or prepare a cup of coffee! From preparing reports to supervising other employees, these directors require professional assistants who are well educated in all facets of business office operations.
