Brescia University Now Offers a Certificate in Accounting Online

Louisville, KY, February 20, 2009 --(PR.com)-- With the financial crisis in full swing, it is more important than ever before for qualified accountants to handle critical financial matters. Foreseeing this need, Brescia University is now offering an accelerated accounting online certificate through its STARS (Success Tracks for Adults Returning to School) program.

Specifically designed to accommodate students with existing full-time schedules, the Certificate in Accounting Completion Online Program enables adult students to gain important knowledge that will help them pursue a reputable, accounting-related career and earn valuable transfer credits toward a current college degree program. Accordingly, the Certificate in Accounting Completion Program also allows students who currently have a Bachelor's degree from an accredited institution to gain the knowledge needed to take the Certified Public Accountant (CPA) exam.

Brescia University considers the Certificate in Accounting Completion Program an invaluable way for adult students to continue a steady work schedule while paving the way for an exciting career in accounting. The ease with which students can take accelerated online classes, combined with the projected growth in the field, makes Brescia University's Certificate in Accounting Completion Program ideal for any adult learner.

When offering programs, Brescia University considers the employability of its graduates as a key component and recognizes that the online accounting certificate is directly in line with that initiative. Due to the current financial state of affairs and changing financial laws, a large number of accounting jobs are slated to become available over the next decade. Brescia University believes this shift is an excellent opportunity to offer an online accounting certificate to individuals who seek to enter this growing industry.
