The Associate of Applied Science Degree (AAS) in accounting and the accounting certificate programs at CCA are designed to provide you with the underlying theory and related technical accounting skills required by business today. You will master many accounting principles, starting with the basics of bookkeeping debits and credits, and progressing, possibly through intermediate accounting, income tax accounting, cost accounting, governmental accounting, and auditing. In addition, students enrolled in CCA's accounting programs have many unique opportunities for real-life experiences through simulations and programs within the local community.

Accounting is often called the language of business and is a method of recording, classifying, reporting, and examining economic data. Every business requires a method to maintain and track its budgets. As accounding and reporting guidelines have become stricter in the U.S., because of corporate scandals, strengthened by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) act of 2002, the demand for accountants has only increased. Few careers offer the flexibility, opportunities, and challeneges that accounting brings. The educational requirements for accounting are challenging, but they do not require the student to spend 10 years or more in school to graduate as a professional.
