Accounting Technology

About

The accounting technology program prepares you for a career in accounting-related occupations. You'll learn the functions of the complete accounting cycle for service, merchandising, and manufacturing businesses. As a graduate of the program, you'll use computers to maintain and reconcile various financial records, verify business records, and perform other clerical and administrative duties. This program is available for qualified deaf and hard of hearing students.

Accounting technology, offered by RIT's National Technical Institute for the Deaf, is available as an associate in applied science (AAS) degree or as an Associate+Bachelor's Degree Program.

The AAS degree in accounting technology is a career-focused degree program that leads to immediate entry into well-paying careers at the paraprofessional or technician level.

The Associate+Bachelor's Degree Program in accounting technology prepares you to complete an RIT bachelor's degree. In this option, upon successful completion of the AAS degree in accounting technology, provided you maintain a 2.5 or higher grade point average in the program, you will enroll into RIT's School of Individualized Study where you can pursue a bachelor's degree in applied arts and science.
