Certificate in Accounting
(Non-Degree Option)
The Certificate in Accounting addresses the continuing education needs
of those already employed in accounting fields and those wishing to enter
accounting. The Certificate requires 30 credit hours, with each course
providing three semester hours of undergraduate college credit. Credit
toward the Certificate may be allowed for work completed in an accredited
college or university, with a transfer limit of six credit hours. Students
must have completed six hours of prerequisite accounting coursework: Principles
of Accounting I (ACCT 201) and Principles of Accounting II (ACCT
202) in order to enter the Certificate program.
Admission to the Certificate program is based on an evaluation of the
applicant’s work experience, statement of educational goals, and potential
for performing satisfactorily in the relevant courses. Preference will
be given to those who hold baccalaureate degrees, but consideration will
be given to those with work experience and strong skills in English and
mathematics. Students wishing to take more than seven hours in a given
semester must be regularly admitted to the college.
