Accounting Information for Management

Accounting 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:

1. Provide tools for acquiring in-depth knowledge in financial accounting, management accounting, information systems, and auditing.
2. Provide opportunities for acquiring in-depth knowledge in specialized areas such as taxation, nonprofit, government, and international accounting through elective courses and/or modules.
3. Develop students’ ability to apply accounting knowledge to solving real-world problems.
4. Develop students’ abilities to present, discuss, and defend views in accounting effectively through formal and informal, written and spoken language.
5. Encourage an understanding of the research process and its application in accounting.
6. Develop students’ intellectual skills such as abstract logical thinking, inductive and deductive reasoning, and critical analysis.

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.
