Accounting

CGCC accounting graduates will be prepared to enter the field as a bookkeeper, accounting clerk or accounting assistant. These people generally perform routine calculations, typing duties, check items on reports and other duties, such as preparing invoices, payrolls and a variety of record-keeping tasks.

The accounting certificate prepares students for entry-level positions in bookkeeping. Entry level bookkeepers perform routine tasks such as bank reconciliations, journalizing, posting, worksheets, accounts payable, accounts receivable and payroll, plus duties such as typing and filing.

Entrepreneurship & Management

CGCC entrepreneurship/small business management graduates will enter the business world as a supervisory trainee who will be qualified to assign duties to workers and establish work schedules. They may also find themselves evaluating performance of employees and recommending hiring and promotional procedures.

Business (University Transfer)

If your goal is to earn a four-year degree in business administration, start that degree with some deft finance management by starting your business degree for less at CGCC. You can complete your first two years of coursework at CGCC and transfer your college credits to a business program at a university.
