This bachelor's completion track is built for students who already hold an Associate Degree in accounting or a related field and want to advance into intermediate financial reporting, auditing, and tax concepts. Coursework moves beyond entry-level bookkeeping into the analytical and compliance skills expected of a degreed accounting professional.

Delivered in a flexible, one-year format, the program lets working students apply prior transfer credit while completing a capstone project that bridges associate-level coursework with bachelor's-level practice. Graduates are positioned for roles such as staff accountant, accounting associate, or further progress toward CPA-track education.
