Associate's in Accounting
Back to top
If you enjoy working with numbers and data, are detail-oriented,
have good communication and organizational skills, and are
comfortable using computers, accounting is a great career choice
with expected steady growth in employment opportunities.
Graduates of this degree program learn a wide range of skills,
including managing accounts receivable, accounts payable, and
payroll. They also know how to prepare tax returns, prepare and
analyze financial statements, and use computer applications
proficiently.
The Associate's program in accounting offers the following areas
of emphasis:
Banking
The banking emphasis in the accounting degree program allows
Rasmussen College students to focus on general banking issues
and practices they may encounter in the workplace. Students
interested in the banking emphasis should enjoy working with
customers. Banking students should also have an interest in
learning the principles of lending.
Financial Accounting
Financial accounting is a substantial part of accounting that
involves the collection, recording and extraction of financial
information. The financial accounting emphasis includes classes
such as payroll accounting and two intermediate accounting
courses to prepare students to fulfill the needs of a financial
accountant. Students will gain the skills to work in an
accounting firm or in a small business.
Financial Investigation
Earning an Associate's degree in accounting - financial
investigation, opens the door to an exciting career path in the
high demand area of fraud detection and prevention, while
providing a complete and solid core in accounting skills.
Companies are concerned with preventing loss due to fraud and
have realized the importance of having skilled and trained
financial investigation professionals on staff.
Tax evasion, public corruption, health care fraud,
telemarketing fraud and terrorist financing are just a few of
the types of crimes that revolve around money. In these cases,
a financial investigation often becomes the key to a
conviction. Traditional law enforcement relies on investigative
tools such as crime scene analysis, physical evidence,
fingerprint identification or eyewitness accounts. The
limitations of these techniques become obvious to those who are
trying to prove wrongdoing in a sophisticated financial crime.
With no proof, there is no conviction.

Associate's in Business Management
Back to top

business. Rasmussen College students will take courses in

Call Center Management
Call center managers perform a broad range of duties. They
coordinate and direct support services to organizations as
diverse as insurance companies, computer manufacturers and
government offices. These supervisors are involved in the many
services that allow organizations to operate efficiently,
including telecommunications management and related customer
service areas.
Child Development
Turn your love for children into a rewarding career in the
rapidly expanding child care profession. The Minnesota
Workforce Center projects a 32% increase in the number of child
care professionals needed statewide through the year 2008. This
specialized degree will expand your opportunities from a child
care worker to managerial, supervisory or business owner
positions. You can work in an existing day care or manage your
own.
Entrepreneurship
If you want to succeed as a small business owner, it's a good
idea to get an education that will benefit you the most. The
business field can be challenging, but if you stick with it and
continue to change with the market, you will have a better
chance to succeed. The Business Management Associate's degree
with a Specialization in Entrepreneurship will teach you many
of the skills you need to successfully run your own business.
Entrepreneurs are self-motivated people, who are willing to
take a high level of personal, professional and financial risk.
With this risk, there is also a chance for great reward.
Entrepreneurs are real go-getters and the type of person that
doesn't take no for an answer.

employees; develop and execute orientation and training
programs for employees; and maintain employee information.
