The Accounting Software Applications Certificate helps you build real-world skills using the tools that today's accounting professionals rely on.
You get hands-on experience with Microsoft Excel, QuickBooks and other widely used accounting software.
Required courses are ACC-120, ACC-121, ACC-149, ACC-150, ACC-151 and ACC-268.
You also have the opportunity to prepare for the Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) Excel certification, a valuable credential that can boost your resume and increase your job opportunities.
The certificate is ideal for students looking to upskill for a current job or start a pathway into a longer-term accounting program. If you enjoy working with technology and solving problems, the certificate is a smart next step, and if you decide to continue your education, credits you've earned may apply toward the Accounting & Finance AAS Degree, depending on program requirements.
