Accounting

Program Goal

The accounting 1 & 2 programs are designed as a vocational preparation for entry into business occupations and as a background for business administration and/or college accounting for college bound students. Major units of learning include related careers and accounting principles and practices for keeping a set of accounting records for a service business organized as a proprietorship. Students will also be introduced to journals, ledgers, basic financial statements and cash control systems.

College Accounting is the final in a series of three courses designed to complete an articulated program of study at the county college. Accounting, the language of business, is a required course in every college business curriculum. This course will bridge the gap between high school accounting and college level accounting. It is designed to provide the knowledge and skills needed by students who desire advanced preparation for the study of accounting or business courses in college. Topics covered will include the accounting profession and related business careers. Accounting terminology, concepts and practices for the various forms of business organizations will also be studied.
