APC Document 18: Additions, Deletions, and Changes in Course Descriptions (MGMT, IEM, & ACCT)

#1
Delete: In catalog 1999-2000 on p. 150, delete the title and course description for 201 Principles of Accounting I (Applied) (3).

Add: In catalog 1999-2000 on p. 150, add the following title and course description to replace 201 Principles of Accounting I (Applied) (3).

215 Principles of Accounting I (3)
An introduction to financial accounting and how it is used by organizations and individuals. Emphasis on the principles and most common practices used in generating financial reports. No credit given if credit received for ACCT 202 or 218. Fall and Spring.

Impact Statement:
The course content has been modified and the course number changed in order to fit various program objectives of the Department. For those students under a catalog requiring ACCT 202, ACCT 202 will be offered Spring 2000. After that time, ACCT 215 will serve as a substitute and can replace a grade of D or F in ACCT 202.

Rationale:
Upon review of the revised Department and program objectives, it appears that both Management majors and Accounting majors would benefit from the additional financial and managerial information that would come from a two course Principles of Accounting sequence. Because of the needs of the Industrial and Engineering Management majors and others who clearly need the most basic level of accounting, the first course is comprehensive, but it does not provide the depth of the second course.

Add: In catalog 1999-2000 on p. 150, add the following title and course description to replace 202 Principles of Accounting II (Procedural) (3).

216 Principles of Accounting II (3)

After that time, ACCT 216 will serve as a substitute and can replace a grade of D or F in ACCT 201.

Rationale: Upon review of the revised Department and program objectives, it appears that both Management majors and Accounting majors would benefit from the additional financial and managerial information that would come from a two course Principles of Accounting sequence. Because of the needs of the Industrial and Engineering Management majors and others who clearly need the most basic level of accounting, the first course is comprehensive, but it does not provide the depth of the second course.
