AS - Accounting
The Associate of Science degree with a major in Accounting program includes both accounting and general education courses. Students will gain fundamental skills needed for entry-level accounting positions and an excellent foundation for pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Accounting or Business.
Upon completion of the program, students will be able to:
- Demonstrate ethical decision-making from a Christian worldview.
- Demonstrate a competency in the application of fundamental accounting and business principles.
- Develop foundational business and accounting analysis skills.
- Integrate a biblical framework that guides business and personal interactions.
- Demonstrate effective communication of ideas and facts.

This degree will provide students with the fundamental skills needed for entry level accounting positions.
This program provides a fundamental basis for students desiring to continue their education at IWU to complete a bachelor's degree in this discipline. The courses contained in this associate program will satisfy 24 hours out of the 30 general education hours required at the bachelor level and will also apply toward the 120 hour degree requirement.
