Section 5: Curriculum Changes
October 30, 2006
The department voted to replace Seminar in Taxation (ACCT 5410) with Income Taxes II (ACCT 4427/5427). Most of our MACC students are attempting to get either their 150 hours required by most all states, or to earn the MACC designation. Without the Corporate Taxation course (ACCT 5427), the pass rate on the CPA exam has decreased. ACCT 4427/5427 is currently in the catalog. The undergraduate option will be retained for those having 150 hours, but needing this course to improve their understanding of corporate taxation. ACCT 5410 will be retained as an elective for MACC students. Additionally, with the change in content of BADM 5710, Strategic Management Process, (since changed to BADM 5500) in the Master of Business Administration program, it does meet the needs of MACC students. Currently, BADM 5500 is used as the first part of a sequence in which MBA students begin working with the clients they will consult with as part of BADM 5800, Strategic Experience. Since MACC students do not take BADM 5800, they should not take BADM 5500. In place of BADM 5500 (previously BADM 5710), MACC students should take a strategy course that fits with their professional interests. Courses from which MACC students may choose include the following: BADM 5170, Strategic Management of Technology and Innovation BADM 5320, Operations Strategy BADM 5340, Human Resource Strategy BADM 5400, Market Strategy MGMT 5590, Strategic Planning for Health Care

3. Non-substantive curriculum change in DSN. Dr. Powers-Beck asked Dr. Marrs to explain this change. Dr. Marrs explained that the Introduction to Graduate Statistics course was being deleted from the program of study and moved to a prerequisite requirement for admission. This change reduces the required number of hours from 62 to 59.
