The accounting program at WVC prepares students for career positions in practical accounting. Students who complete one year of studies at the 100 level or higher will earn an accounting technician certificate, which prepares them for entry-level jobs. The two-year associate of technical sciences degree in accounting prepares students for mid-level jobs, including supervisory positions. Program courses can also help students better manage their own personal finances. Many students elect to continue working toward a four-year accounting degree -- or to start their own small businesses.
In the WVC accounting program, students learn accounting theory and principles as well as such techniques as posting and journalizing, balancing assets and liabilities, preparing statements and estimating net worth. It also teaches communication and human relations skills, managerial accounting, business principles and practices, computer applications, spreadsheets, algebra, calculating machines as well as payroll and business taxes.
The accounting program is offered on the Wenatchee and Omak campuses.
