From fast-track certificates to a newly launched four-year degree, the college offers multiple courses of study for careers in the financial sector, according to a press release.

The college is launching its first four-year program, the bachelor’s of business administration – management, this semester. The degree combines leadership-focused coursework with real-world business applications in finance, IT, marketing and human resources.

Meanwhile, the associate’s in applied science in accounting prepares students for entry-level jobs such as accounting clerk, payroll clerk or tax preparer and lays the groundwork for advanced certifications.

The college also offers several certificates tailored to meet specific industry needs.

Those pursuing tax specialization can pursue the Enrolled Agent certificate program, which prepares students for the Special Enrollment Exam and enables them to represent clients before the IRS.

The college also offers a more general accounting certificate, providing foundational skills for various entry-level roles across the financial sector.
