Program Spotlight

  Accounting is for people who enjoy working with numbers, are detail oriented, and well organized. Alaska is one of the highest paying states for Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing. An Associate of Applied Science (AAS) Degree in Accounting prepares students for a broad array of accounting positions within business, government, or other organizations. Students in the program will sit for the EPA Section 608 Technician Certification Exam.  The program also lays the groundwork for students to pursue a Bachelor of Business Administration in Accounting at UAA. This is one of many ways that opportunities start at Mat-Su college.
