The two-year Accounting Program at St. Clair County Community College prepares students for positions in the fast growing field of accounting. The program is designed to qualify students for positions as promotable accounting technicians with large and small public accounting firms and industrial firms. Graduates from this program will fill the expanding vacuum between the high school graduate with no accounting training and the university accounting graduate, an area in which the accounting profession has been seeking qualified personnel for years. Studies continually emphasize that the supply of accountants in the future will fall far short of the need. Positions are available in business, industry, public service, and government.

Students completing this course of study will be able to record and post financial data, prepare financial forms and reports, and assist in the analysis and interpretation of financial data. In addition, graduates will be able to assist in the budgeting process, engage in manufacturing and/or tax accounting routines, and assume responsibility for a section of financial records and reports.
