Associate of Applied Science Degree
The accounting program at Clackamas emphasizes developing an advanced understanding of accounting principles. The curriculum prepares the student to be able to record day-to-day financial transactions and to prepare summary statements of business conditions. The courses offered emphasize the development of analytical skills and the capacity to solve problems. Students should have the ability to reason, read with comprehension and compute math problems.
The accounting program at CCC is not designed to lead to a traditional four-year business administration degree, although it may articulate with accelerated and nontraditional programs such as those offered by Linfield, George Fox and Marylhurst.
Career opportunities may be found as a bookkeeper, accounting clerk, payroll clerk, accounting associate, cost accountant, financial accountant or tax accountant. Jobs are available in business, industry, government agencies, service industries and banks.
