Online Associate Degree Programs in Accounting

If you're considering a new career, look no further than the SOX. Since 2002, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) has been creating thousands of new jobs in accounting across the country. It's a governmental act created to keep corporations compliant, and accountants with knowledge of SOX standards can be very valuable to employers. An associate's degree program could be your first step to a lucrative career in accounting.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that accountants bring home an average of $58,000 a year. Of course, no academic degree program can guarantee a salary, but employers typically require or prefer accredited degrees and certificates when hiring in this field. A typical associate's degree program would combine an educational foundation of core classes to teach you the business fundamentals, income tax law and the new SOX regulations that a career in accounting will likely require.

An online degree program would give you more options for managing your own study. An associate's degree program can often be completed in as little as two years, and many online degree programs let you work on your own schedule. With no in-person class meetings, you wouldn't need to reschedule your life to pick up an academic accounting degree.
