Associate in Accounting (60 hrs.)
The associate in accounting program is designed to prepare students for immediate entry into the accounting field. It combines a concentration in accounting and computer science with business, economics and general education subjects. This program is especially appropriate for positions in businesses that require a small but knowledgeable accounting staff. As all of the credits are fully transferable to the four-year accounting major at Trine University, it serves as an excellent program for students who subsequently plan to seek a Bachelor of Science degree with an accounting major.
