These are programs in accounting, Bible and ministry, business management, dance, and family studies. The courses can be used as credit toward a degree. All hours for certificate programs must be earned at Belhaven College. Certificate programs are approved for veterans training by the state approving agency and are the equivalent of a college major except where noted.
The required classes are: ACC 217, 313, 314, 337, 411, 412, 413, 421, 424, 430, 490, BUS 415.
Students who have already taken one of the required accounting classes will be required to select a substitute from an upper division business elective course.
Prerequisites to the Accounting Certificate consist of 30 hours: MAT 101 or 110 (202 in the adult program), 201(345), ACC 213-214 (BBA 320-321), ECO 205 (BBA 330), BUS 305 (BBA 350), BUS 363, BUS 414, BUS 418, and CSC 310.
Students who have earned a BBA or BS in Business from Belhaven College will already have taken all of the prerequisites and will be qualified to take the CPA exam after completion of the Accounting Certificate.
