The A.A.S. degree in accounting, as presented
above, is offered primarily as a job-entry or job-advancement program,
rather than as a transfer program. Selected courses may transfer to
some four-year colleges, but such transfer is neither standardized
nor consistent. ACC 121/122, Accounting Principles I/II, are the courses
which ordinarily transfer entirely or partially to most college business
programs. Students pursuing a bachelors degree or a career as a Certified
Public Accountant (CPA) should check with their advisor concerning
the transferability of courses to four-year colleges.
