Accounting Fundamentals Certificate

For students whose positions include bookkeeping and basic accounting responsibilities, the 18-credit Accounting Fundamentals Certificate provides a solid foundation, grounded in the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) that govern the accounting profession. Coursework progresses to the software tools that facilitate accounting processes and the laws of taxation that impact each transaction, overlain at each level with the legal and ethical constructs that govern all business relationships.
