College Courses – Schools in the Philippines

BS Accounting

- A very good course to take. Gives the graduate many options.

– A graduate is automatically qualified as a book keeper. All companies need book keepers to keep track of their expenses and earnings.

– If an accounting graduate passes the Accounting Board Exams, they become CPA or Certified Public Accountants. A CPA gets higher pay than book keepers. Besides a book keeper, companies also need CPAs to certify their tax declarations.

– Accounting is also a good pre Law course if you plan to be a lawyer. You can be a CPA Lawyer.

BS Economics

Economists study the movement of the economy. The economy is very sensitive. A small change in interest rate or demand of money or supply, etc. will have a drastic effect on the other factors. Economists implement plans or policies to lessen the bad effects of these changes in market forces.

Economists can work in banks where they determine the interest rates or other bank policies. They can also work in private companies or the government agency (National Economic Development Authority ).

BS Management/ Business Administration/ Commerce

Be careful in taking this course. It is a very general course. Make sure that you have a major, either Accounting or Advertising. A great number of those who take Commerce as their course end up as sales men. It is not bad but it is better is you will have a field of specialization.
