Accounting (Code 128)
Associate in Business
This program prepares students for responsible positions in the accounting department of small businesses and for support positions in larger firms in both financial and manufacturing accounting. The program includes a thorough study of the accounting cycle, cost accounting, tax accounting, budgeting, inventory valuation, and statement analysis. Business law, written and oral communications, and computer applications are included in the course work.
To be eligible to receive an Accounting Associate Business degree, a student must meet the course and credit requirements. Transfer credits may be used to meet graduation requirements; however, a degree candidate must complete at least six credits in accounting from GRCC with a “C” or better.
Advance standing credit may be granted for BA 133 to graduates of high school programs that are members of the Kent Metropolitan Articulation Project.
The following recommendations are presented as a guide. Courses may be taken in any order, as long as all the listed requirements (including prerequisites) are met. Cooperative Education in Business (BA 180 and BA 181) is strongly recommended as an elective in this program.
Note: This program is designed for career entry and/or advancement in selected fields. It is not intended to be a transfer program. Students planning to transfer should see a counselor or faculty advisor concerning transfer options.

* Students intending to transfer should take EN 101 and EN 102 instead of BA 101 and BA 102.
* Students who have not passed a formal keyboarding or typewriting course must enroll in BA 130 Keyboarding, before taking BA 133. Students who have passed one year of high school typewriting or keyboarding with at least a grade of "C" may waive BA 133 . Since waiver is without credit, students must take an equivalent number of elective credits to satisfy graduation requirements . It is strongly recommended, however, that students who have had no formal training in word processing enroll in BA 133.
*** While any BA course will fulfill this elective requirement, BA 209 and BA 288 are recommended.
**** While any course will fulfill this elective requirement, EC 251 and/or EC 252 are recommended.
