Ready to turn “For Sale” signs into “Sold” celebrations? Our Real Estate Broker Certificate is your gateway to a flexible, rewarding career that fits right into the friendly, hardworking spirit of southeast Ohio. Whether you’re 22 or 42, you’ll learn to guide homebuyers, seal deals, and maybe even arrange a few loans—all while helping neighbors find their dream homes (and yes, maybe their future in-laws too). You’ll be the go-to pro who knows how to close a sale with confidence and a smile. Real estate here isn’t just about property—it’s about community, connection, and making big life moments happen. 

As an accounting student, you will learn to perform accounting functions, record and verify transactions, prepare payrolls, monitor inventory, prepare financial statements, and analyze financial information. The demand for accounting personnel continues to increase. Graduates are employed as bookkeepers, staff accountants, tax preparers, compilers of financial information, cost accountants, and financial analysts. 

Not only will Zane State College’s Accounting program prepare you for a public, business, or governmental accounting career, you will have the opportunity to leverage our partnerships with Muskingum and Franklin Universities and go on to complete a more advanced degree. Muskingum University has a pathway from ZSC to their Accounting-Public degree. You can complete the required accounting and most business courses necessary for the CPA exam, then transfer to the Accounting-Public program at Muskingum and finish up the 150-credit hour requirement. This is a definite cost-saving path. Or, Franklin University offers a Pathway to MBA program that takes your accounting work at Zane State and applies it toward completing your bachelor’s and then master’s degree.
