The accounting technology – computer information option curriculum should provide the student with a foundation in accounting theory, and related courses in other areas of business, along with a highly developed computer competency. The student will learn a number of the most widely used software applications such as Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Access and QuickBooks and how to use them to implement accounting functions.

These courses should provide the student with the necessary computer skills to effectively communicate and present data and materials to co-workers and clients. The students’ exposure to computer application software and database development using Access, in conjunction with the traditional accounting courses, should provide the accounting student with a rounded solid computer-based accounting degree.
