The Accounting Associate of Applied Science degree prepares students to enter many types of entry-level positions in the field of accounting and/or non-accounting. Job responsibilities may involve aiding upper-level managers, accountants, and auditors by performing accounting, administrative/human resources, and bookkeeping duties. Other functions include compiling data required for management, creating governmental reports, and processing accounting data using various accounting software systems. While the AAS degree is not fully designed to transfer to a four-year university, it can serve to fulfill several transfer course requirements.
