ii. The specifics about the re-evaluation process will be discussed and finalized this semester
b. Discussion about the new chair for the WAC committee: i. The chair of the WAC committee serves for two years and is elected by
the committee members. ii. The committee agreed that for scheduling and training purposes it is best

WHAT IS THE <<RATIONALE>> FOR PROPOSING THIS PROGRAM?
The Introductory Certificate in Accounting Program is proposed in response to tremendous interest in accounting careers by individuals who currently hold a bachelors degree in another discipline. The Introductory Certificate provides the prerequisite courses necessary for acceptance into the Intermediate Certificate in Accounting which is a credential to recognize accounting courses taken in order to be eligible to sit for the CPA exam.
WHAT ARE THE <<LEARNING OBJECTIVES>> FOR THIS PROGRAM?
The Certificate in Accounting Programs (Introductory, Intermediate and Advanced) are designed to provide a comprehensive, high quality instructional program in Accounting which is current, practical and prepares students for careers in business, governmental and not-for-profits sectors of economy by emphasizing critical thinking, problem solving and teamwork skills in a technologically and globally rapidly changing environment. The focus of the Certificate in Accounting Programs is specifically on increasingly complex accounting topics. Students in the program are expected to be experienced and enthusiastic learners since admission requires an earned undergraduate degree. Graduates of the Introductory Certificate in Accounting Program should possess:
ary to serve as a basis for the Intermediate Certificate in Accounting Program.
the proficiency to accept leadership roles in organizations. -solving skills.
-work skills.
WHAT METHODS WILL BE EMPLOYED FOR <<EVALUATING STUDENTS>>?
The conceptual understanding of technical accounting knowledge is measured by the use of examinations and quizzes that directly test the level of the students mastery of the subject matters of various accounting topics and courses covered. Teamwork, written and oral communication skills are necessary to engage in leadership roles in organizations. Writing skills are measured by writing projects that form the grades for many of the courses in the department and oral communication skills are evaluated with grades depending on participation in class and in
use of technology to research and answer questions using IT tools such as Microsoft excel, Quickbooks, SAP, XBRL and tax preparation software.
PLEASE SPECIFY IF THERE ARE ANY ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS BEYOND THE
STATED CURRICULAR REQUIREMENTS FOR THIS PROGRAM.

ARE THERE <<RESOURCES>> NEEDED FOR THIS PROGRAM? PLEASE ELABORATE.
Courses required to earn the Certificates in Accounting are currently open to undergraduate students and will be taught by existing accounting department faculty. Administrative resources will be required to coordinate the admission, advisement and assignment of certificates upon completion of the Certificate of Accounting program for graduation. The admission function will be handled by university admissions, advising by existing accounting faculty and assignment of certificates by the Business Student Resource Center which was recently established in the School of Business. Depending on the growth of the programs, it may be necessary to expand accounting department faculty and administrative resources to accommodate the Certificate in Accounting Programs.
