Why major in Accounting?
The program prepares you to collect, analyze, and report financial data and communicate that information to both managers and outside agencies. Graduates can begin their careers as junior accountants, assistant auditors, bookkeepers, or accounting clerks. Such entry-level positions are found in accounting firms, industry, governmental agencies, small businesses, and non-profit organizations.

If I major in Accounting, can I transfer to an upper-division college or university?
The major is job-oriented and not designed for transfer to a baccalaureate program. However, many colleges and universities will apply most or all the courses you have taken toward a bachelor’s degree.

Upon completion of this program, graduates will be able to:
  • Demonstrate knowledge of the underlying framework of accounting concepts and data;
  • Use the language of accounting in writing and speaking;
  • Prepare accounting documents both manually and using a computer;
  • Demonstrate knowledge of budgeting principles;
  • Demonstrate knowledge of business law including the Uniform Commercial Code and the law of contracts;
  • Use accounting data in making managerial decisions;
  • Apply general business concepts in a global context; and
  • Prepare Federal and New Jersey individual and corporate tax returns.
