 Course CatalogDegree Completion ProgramBusiness AdministrationAccounting Information for ManagementAccounting Information for Management offers a competency-based curriculum designed to fit the needs of working adults. The experiential and research based approach to the program meets the following goals:
The State of Alaska Board of CPAs requires that students wishing to take the CPA exam have a minimum of 150 college credit hours. Accordingly, graduates of this program, like those of any four-year accounting program, must meet the additional credit hour requirements to qualify for CPA exam candidacy. Students are expected to be actively employed or have significant past experience in accounting or other areas in the business field. Students entering the program should have proficiency in basic accounting equivalent to at least one year (6 credit hours) of basic college level accounting or earned credits through prior learning. The students may be required to take an accounting placement exam to determine this proficiency. In the absence of such proficiency the students will be required to take all or a combination of BAM 200, 201, and 202: Accounting for Information Age I, II, and III, as determined by the advisor prior to entering the program. The major consists of twelve modules plus a 12 credit (3 module) research proposal and senior project. Bachelor Of Arts Degree Major
