Students in this program gain an overview of public service, the laws governing public and/or nonprofit organizations, as well as the financial and budgeting principles that distinguish public sector accounting practices from private enterprise.

Students also acquire computer database and word processing skills essential for administrators in today’s lean public and nonprofit organizations.
