The Associate of Applied Science in Accounting is designed to prepare students for employment in public, private and governmental accounting as a paraprofessional.  The program covers financial, managerial and tax accounting using manual and computerized accounting systems.

Students pursuing the Certified Public Accountant (CPA) credential and those planning to transfer to senior institutions should consider the university parallel Associate of Science degree, Business Administration emphasis.

The A.A.S. in Accounting was developed in compliance with the Complete College Tennessee Act of 2010.  Students who begin this program at Cleveland State Community College and transfer to another Tennessee public community college are guaranteed that their credits will transfer and will be credited toward completion of the A.A.S. degree in Accounting at the receiving institution.  This is an occupational program designed to equip students for employment. This program is not a transfer program, although many institutions accept all or part of the course work toward the bachelor’s degree.
