This article, resulting from a two-year study at one large Midwestern University, purports to illustrate evidence related to greater evaluation and modification in course offerings and content with respect to the course offering of Principles of Accounting. Principles of Accounting had been traditionally taught at this university to sophomore students as a two-semester course of eight credit hours. The faculty of the College of Business Administration, in re-evaluating its total four-year undergraduate curriculum, elected to transfer this fundamental course to the freshman year. The most compelling argument for presenting accounting in the sophomore year is to be found in the work of two writers R.A. Gordon and F.C. Pierson titled "Gordon and Pierson Reports" that was published in 1959, which gave rise to a great number of literature on radical change in collegiate schools of business. In rebuttal to the argument presented by writers, authors consider the fact that the vast majority of students have only four years to spend in college and that the two most limiting factors to further formal education are academic abilities and financial resources. |
