Accounting

The Accounting Program is designed to provide the student with a strong preparation in accounting and business. The Accounting Program prepares students for entry-level positions in the accounting fields. In addition, a large percentage of students choose to continue their education at four- year colleges in order to become certified public accountants (CPA). CPA’s can start practices or work in public, private, not- for- profit or government accounting. Upon completion of the Accounting Program requirements, the Associates of Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree is awarded.

Weekend Accounting Program

In addition to our regular program, BMCC offers an Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.) in Accounting in BMCC’s evening/weekend program. You can complete your degree requirements by attending classes exclusively on Friday evening and on Saturday and Sunday. All courses required for an A. A. S. Degree in Accounting can be taken in the weekend program.
