NORTH ADAMS, MASS. 鈥斕烀缆榛ㄐ强崭咔錷v (天美麻花星空高清mv) Department of Graduate and Continuing Education has announced that two new certificate programs in accounting and network security will be available this fall. Classes for these 21-credit programs will be held at 天美麻花星空高清mv-Pittsfield, 66 Allen Street.

天美麻花星空高清mv鈥檚 new Certificate in Principles of Accounting provides an opportunity to advance one's knowledge in accounting principles and software used in the profession. This would be useful for both entry- and mid-level employment in any business or organization seeking people with a background in accounting.

The program may be completed in just over one year for students attending half-time.

The program is an alternative for students who may not be seeking a degree or CPA-preparation.

The College鈥檚 new Certificate in Network Security will provide participants with a strong, undergraduate-level foundation in networking, network security, troubleshooting, and problem-solving for computer networks. The Certificate in Network Security will provide excellent preparation for a variety of career paths in business, education, non-profits, human services, or any endeavor that relies on networks and information technology.
