In this ranking, we present the top 50 online associates in accounting degree programs.
Anyone planning a career is always wise to consider the future outlook of his or her chosen field before leaping into a degree or certification program. Valuable time, effort, and money can be saved by carefully evaluating employment prospects. If life in the world of business and finance appeals to you, there is good news. Job prospects in this field are rosy for the foreseeable future.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the numbers of accountants and auditors will likely increase 11 percent by 2024, faster than the average for all occupations. Factors influencing job growth include:
- an uptick in the number of businesses
- the increasing need to protect shareholders in a business
- ever-evolving laws that govern corporations
The job description for an accountant or auditor may bring to mind the affable gentleman in the children’s story who wore a multitude of hats, one on top of the other. In actuality, this is an apt analogy. Accountants and auditors fill a variety of roles in a business or government operation. Chiefly, of course, they prepare and oversee financial records. They also work to guarantee that such records are true and accurate pictures of a company’s financial health. They see that appropriate taxes are paid in a timely manner. Moreover, they are able to evaluate a business’s overall financial concerns and efficiency.
Online coursework uses a different set of skills than taking courses in a classroom. A quick search of a school website may pull up a self-assessment quiz, to allow you to see how well you might do in an online course. A hardware component is also needed for distance learning. However, your ability to access this article and your interest in an IT career, probably demonstrate your aptness. A final and essential requirement for online learning is to ensure that the school you choose is an authorized provider of educational services in your state of residence. Most online schools will be authorized in most states, but you will want to make sure of this before you officially apply.
