Not all workforce programs use heavy machinery!

Lone Star College offers Business and Professional Services programs that prepare you for careers in management and administration for many types of businesses and organizations.

The Texas Workforce Commission reports that students who earn an Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree in Accounting could make $39,000 a year as an accounting clerk, bookkeeper or accounting assistant.

“I had a bachelor’s degree in biology, but realized I preferred accounting instead,” said LSC alumni Gale L. Childers, CMA CPA accounting manager, Financial Aid Payment Office Workforce Solutions. “Lone Star College did an excellent job and the instructors were top notch.”

The AAS in Accounting is also tailored as an academic transfer degree for students who will ultimately be pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree at a four-year college, leading to even greater earning potential.

There’s good news for military veterans – they can receive up to six college credit hours toward their degrees, thanks to their service for our country.

Other business programs offered include administrative services, business administration and paralegal studies. There are also fast-track classes that allow you to earn an LSC certificate in accounting assistant/bookkeeper, payroll assistant and project management.

“A lot of the Lone Star College professors came from the accounting industry,” said Childers.
