In response to corporate and accounting scandals, the U.S. Congress passed the Sarbanes-Oxley Act in 2002, setting forth new standards for the way organizations govern themselves and disclose their auditing practices. This legislation is expected not only to have a dramatic impact on the way organizations operate but also the opportunities it creates for accounting professionals who have obtained up-to-date knowledge of these new standards and practices.

To meet the demand for professionals with the real-world skills to implement these new guidelines, Colorado Tech Online developed a Bachelor of Science in Accounting that can be earned in just 15 months,* enabling dedicated professionals to qualify for good jobs and help restore confidence in the Accounting profession.

The program is designed for students wishing to pursue careers as General Accountants, Controllers, Budget Analysts, Loan Officers, Personal Financial Advisors, and many other in-demand positions.

Students can earn five CTU academic Certificates as they work towards the completion of the Bachelor of Science in Accounting. These résumé-enhancing certificates are built into the degree program without adding any classes or tuition cost.
