Certificate(s):
The accounting associate of applied science degree is designed to prepare
students for occupations in the accounting profession. Job responsibilities
depend on the area of specialization: public accounting; managerial accounting;
or governmental accounting. Accountants help individuals and businesses
manage their money by setting up and maintaining accounting systems,
preparing budgets, studying company operations, performing audits, and
preparing government forms. They help management plan and control company
activities.
Accounting graduates have a wide variety of job opportunities available
to them in industry, in governmental agencies, or in the public accounting
sector. Beginning accountants usually start as ledger accountants, internal
auditors, or as trainees for technical accounting positions.
The associate of applied science degree is awarded for successful completion
of at least 61 credit hours as outlined. Students desiring a less comprehensive
program should consider one of the Accounting Certificate programs also
listed below.
Qualifying Educational Credit for CPA Examination: The Texas State Board
of Public Accountancy (TSBPA) awarded North Harris Montgomery Community
College District (NHMCCD) the designation to offer “Qualifying Educational
Credit for the CPA Examination.” Ten of the NHMCCD accounting courses
meet the TSBPA’S definition of upper-division accounting courses required
to take the CPA exam. This designation allows individuals who have already
earned a baccalaureate or higher degree from a recognized educational
institution to gain the thirty (30) advanced accounting hours required
to qualify for the CPA exam. The individual must earn the "certificate
in accounting" designation and take no less than 24 semester hours of
accounting from North Harris Montgomery Community College District toward
meeting the 30 semester hours. Contact the accounting department of any
NHMCCD college for specific information, advising, and recommended sequencing
of courses.
The general education core courses and several individual accounting
courses will transfer to a variety of universities. Contact the counselor
or adviser at any college for specific information and to obtain the
recommended sequencing of courses.
