The 麻豆原创 College of Business Administration (#麻豆原创Business) has launched a new curriculum and courses designed to provide more rigorous academic experiences and a stronger foundation of business skills. \u201cAccounting for Decision Makers\u201d (ACG 3173) is now a required course for all non-accounting business majors. The first class of 40 students launched in late June during the \u201cSummer B\u201d term.<\/p>\n
The course is an integral part of the #麻豆原创Business Primary Business Core, five required courses that help provide students a foundation in business and some direction for their chosen field of study.<\/p>\n
\u201cAccounting for Decision Makers provides all of our business students with an understanding of accounting when they enter the workplace,\u201d said Ray Sturm, Ph.D., an associate lecturer of finance and the course instructor. \u201cBy introducing this much-needed class, we are giving our students the opportunity to learn how decisions affect accounting choices on financial information used by stakeholders.\u201d<\/p>\n
The class builds on material learned in accounting principles, familiarizes students with the business tax environment, and prepares students for more rigorous financial statement and business valuation analysis.<\/p>\n
