Three-Semester Program
Purpose
The Accounting Certificate Program was designed to allow students who do not
desire a two-year degree in Accounting to gain enough accounting background to
qualify for employment within one year. After completing the one-year program,
students may apply courses to the two-year Accounting program and complete the
A.A.S. degree during the evening while working during the day in an accounting
position.
Occupational Objectives
Accounting
Technician
Accounting Trainee
Bank Teller
Bookkeeper
Clerical Bookkeeper
File Clerk
General Office Clerk
Miscellaneous Office Machine Operator
Order Clerk
Payroll Clerk
Post Office Clerk

Stock & Inventory Control Clerk
Admission Requirements
In addition to the admission requirements established for the
college, entry into the Certificate in Accounting requires English prerequisites
as described in the catalog. Additionally, students should have command of
the fundamental processes of addition, subtraction, multiplication, division,
fractions, and decimals. Students who are found deficient in English and fundamental
mathematics will be required to correct their deficiencies in developmental
courses.
Program Requirements
The first semester of this program must be completed in the summer if students expect to obtain the Certificate in one year at New River Community College. All credits obtained in this program can be applied to the two-year degree. This program is highly concentrated in accounting skills with minimum emphasis given to general education and business-related subjects. Instruction will include both theoretical concepts and practical applications needed for future success in Accounting. Each student is urged to consult with a counselor and a faculty advisor in planning a program. Upon satisfactory completion of the three semester curriculum, the student will be awarded a Certificate in Accounting.
