Students planning to major in accounting at a four-year institution should follow the Black Hawk College Associate in Arts curriculum. The completion of the course of study outlined will satisfy graduation requirements of Black Hawk College. Since universities may require specific courses for an accounting major, students should consult with the First Stop Center at Black Hawk College for additional information. This program provides a solid foundation on which to build a four-year degree in accounting. Basic business courses include accounting, economics, business law, and statistics. Job opportunities for accountants following completion of a four-year degree have been very strong in the past and are likely to grow. Jobs can be secured at all levels of government, industry, and public accounting. A CPA certificate or other accounting certification is encouraged for those who wish to advance in the field. Students seeking a one- or two-year degree in accounting should see the Career Program listings for accounting under Business Programs.
