Associate's in Accounting

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. Classes in the banking emphasis include Fundamental to Consumer Lending, Banking Law and Marketing. Students interested in the banking emphasis should enjoy working with customers. Banking students should also have an interest in learning the principles of lending.

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.

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.
