Accounting Management, Diploma

Campus: Clinton, Muscatine & Scott Community Colleges

The Accounting Management program provides the fundamentals necessary to be able to solve business-oriented accounting problems. Students obtain extensive hands-on experience working “real-world” accounting problems including: payroll, cost and tax. Students learn how to maintain reliable accounting records both manually and in a computerized environment. Perhaps more importantly, students learn how to interpret and communicate accounting information to non-accounting personnel for organizational use.

As an Accounting Management graduate, you will be prepared for a position as an entry-level, junior or paraprofessional accountant. Training in accounting is invaluable for management at all levels.
