Accounting

Accounting I (40300)

Accounting is designed to give students a basic introduction to the business world so they can understand the daily
financial activities completed by businesses. By following the steps of the accounting cycle, students will learn to
analyze business transactions, record them on business forms, and prepare financial statements. Students will also
complete an Accounting simulation. Accounting is a beneficial course for all students, but particularly so for students
interested in opening their own business or majoring in any area of business --management, computer programming,
business administration, marketing, law or accounting.

Advanced Accounting (40360)

Students will broaden their accounting knowledge by focusing on accounting processes for a merchandising business
organized as a corporation. This course will concentrate on accounting for purchases, sales, cash payments and receipts,
payroll, and uncollectible accounts receivable. In addition, students will prepare adjusting and closing entries, trial
balance, and financial statements for a corporation. An accounting simulation, as well as completing coursework using
online accounting forms, will bring real world application to the course.

Automated Accounting (40001)

This third year accounting course prepares students to apply the knowledge gained from Accounting I and Advanced
Accounting in an automated system using QuickBooks Online. Students will be guided through QuickBooks Online to
learn how to set up a business’s accounting system, resolve accounting issues, and generate valuable accounting
reports. In addition to learning one of the most widely-used accounting programs in the business world, students may
also have the opportunity to become a QuickBooks Certified User (QBCU) by taking an official Certiport exam.
Passing this exam earns students a certification that validates skills necessary for an entry-level accounting position.
