Accounting
Associate in Applied Science (AAS)According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, demand for detailed financial documentation is expected to increase in response to current financial crises and subsequent financial regulations.

Employers are looking for individuals with attention to detail and the ability to adapt to an ever-changing set of regulations. A professional attitude, good interpersonal communication skills, and the ability to meet goal-oriented deadlines are also valuable.
