Accounting Program

The primary objective of the Associate of Applied Science Degree in Accounting is to prepare an individual to enter the workforce or to improve the skills of the currently employed individual. However, through articulation agreements, most of the hours earned in Vernon College's Associate of Applied Science Degree will transfer into MSU's Bachelor of Applied Arts and Science Degree or into Wayland Baptist University's Bachelor of Science in Occupational Education Degree.

The Accounting Program, which has been in effect since 1981, has many successful graduates who now hold responsible accounting positions. VC accounting students are a close-knit group. They enjoy small classes with a friendly, helpful attitude on the part of the faculty.

Major Courses:

• Principles of Accounting I & II
• Microcomputer Accounting
• Payroll Accounting
• Intermediate Accounting I & II
• Federal Income Tax Accounting
• Cost Accounting
• Principles of Auditing

The program also has related courses in Introduction to Business, Business Law I, Organizational Behavior, Economics, Composition and Grammar, Composition and Literature, Mathematics, Public Speaking, American Political System, Microcomputer Applications and some approved electives.
