Impact on Students: (Explain how students will be affected by the proposal. Benefits to students should be listed.)
Students will have a more solid background in accounting.
Impact On Other Departments: (Explain how other academic departments may be affected by the proposal, and summarize any discussions with
other departments about the proposal. If adding or deleting a course, explain how other departments may be affected.)
The proposed change only impacts the Department of Accounting in that the MGMT 30900 Accounting Information system course
will experience an increase in enrollment. The Department of Accounting has the resources to cover the extra enrollment as fewer
electives will be offered. MGMT 30900 has been offered for some time now, and has been categorized as an Accounting elective
course. There will be no expected impact on other departments in the School of Management
Impact on University Resources: (Curriculum changes affect university resources. Explain here how instructional, lab, computer or library
resources may be affected by the proposal. It is especially important to address the possible need for additional faculty.)
There will be a minimal impact on faculty resources in the Department of Accounting. Historically a number of students in the
program of BS - Accounting major selected the Accounting Information system course. Thus, making this course required for
accounting majors will not significantly change the reallocation of university resources.
