Busy Accounting Software Syllabus

[Rosy Demorest]

SLUs accounting graduates have a long history of success on the CPA exam, with pass rates exceeding both the Missouri and national averages. Many of our graduates have passed all parts of this critical exam on their first attempt. The 2021 CPA Success Index, published in Accounting Today, ranked SLU 26 in the country among large accounting programs.

SLU students may choose to graduate from the accounting program with the 120-credit bachelor's degree; however, those who plan to be licensed after taking the CPA examination are required to complete 150 college credits in most states.

Undergraduate accounting students have the opportunity to work a full-time, busy-season accounting internship in their final semester and remain on track for graduation. St. Louis' metropolitan location provides numerous internship opportunities, allowing students to gain career-related work experience while applying classroom knowledge to practice. Most internships are paid, and students may opt to earn academic credit. SLU's accounting students have interned with a wide variety of organizations, including public accounting firms, Fortune 500 companies, financial institutions and governmental agencies.

The Saint Louis University chapter of Beta Alpha Psi, an international scholastic and professional honor society for financial information professionals, provides a vital link between students and the accounting profession. The chapter connects students with numerous guest speakers from various disciplines and industries each semester. In addition, membership offers students opportunities to establish networking relationships with potential employers. The chapter is regularly recognized for its continued excellence.

In a survey of SLU's most recent accounting graduates, 100% reported they were either employed or attending graduate school within six months of their graduation. They join a global network of nearly 20,000 alumni from the Richard A. Chaifetz School of Business. Accounting graduates from the Chaifetz School have earned employment with public accounting firms including the Big 4, as well as with prestigious organizations such as Accenture and Boeing.

To be considered for admission to any Saint Louis University undergraduate program, the applicant must be graduating from an accredited high school, have an acceptable HiSET exam score or take the General Education Development (GED) test. Beginning with the 2021-22 academic year, undergraduate applicants will not be required to submit standardized test scores (ACT or SAT) in order to be considered for admission. Applicants will be evaluated equally, with or without submitted test scores.

Applicants must be graduates of an accredited high school or have an acceptable score on the GED. An official high school transcript and official test scores are required only of those students who have attempted fewer than 24 transferable semester credits (or 30 quarter credits) of college credit. Those having completed 24 credits or more of college credit need only submit a transcript from previously attended college(s).

Saint Louis University makes every effort to keep our education affordable. In fiscal year 2023, 99% of first-time freshmen and 92% of all students received financial aid and students received more than $459 million in aid University-wide.

Saint Louis University's Richard A. Chaifetz School of Business is accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), the premier business school accrediting body. Achieving AACSB accreditation ensures continuous quality improvement in the learning environment through enhancements to the curriculum, instructional resources, student selection, career planning and placement and the intellectual contributions and qualifications of the faculty.

Approximately 5% of business schools worldwide have achieved AACSB accreditation. The accounting program is also separately accredited by the AACSB, one of only 193 schools to have earned this distinction.

Accounting students who have commenced their major coursework will be on program probation if their cumulative SLU grade point average (GPA) falls below a 2.70. Students will have one semester to increase their cumulative SLU GPA to a 2.70; if not, students will not be allowed to register for 3000 or 4000 level accounting courses.

During the probationary period, advisors help students achieve academic success by closely monitoring their academic performance. In order to improve scholastically and demonstrate the ability to make progress toward a degree, students on University probation may not register for more than 12 credits of coursework in the fall and spring semesters, three credits in the winter term, and no more than one course/four credits in any single summer session term.

This roadmap should not be used in the place of regular academic advising appointments. All students are encouraged to meet with their advisor/mentor each semester. Requirements, course availability and sequencing are subject to change.

The Lehigh University College of Business FLEX MBA part-time online curriculum focuses on technology, leadership, and relevance to individual students and their workplaces. It introduces an applied capstone experience (ACE), expands leadership education to include personal, relational, and team leadership skills, as well as experiences addressing inclusive, inspirational, and ethical leadership situations, and weaves data generation, analysis and visualization throughout the curriculum.

The FLEX MBA is a 36-credit program that is completed at a part-time, personalized pace, on campus or online through ClassroomLIVE technology, or through a combination of both to fit busy schedules. The core is comprised of 24 credits; the remaining 12 credits are electives, from which a student may choose to specialize in a concentration area. Based on elective choices and preferred pace, students can obtain their degree within 2-4 years.

Electives (12 credits)

Students select 12 credit hours of elective coursework. All elective courses must be at the 400 level. Students may design an area of study in consultation with their advisor or select an area of concentration. Concentrations require the completion of 12 credit hours.

On average, it takes a student about 3.5 years to complete this part-time MBA program. A student can choose to go at a faster or slower pace depending on their work or personal schedule. If a student is not completing a concentration, they have the option to complete the program within 2 years.

The BSBA online degree program at Cal State East Bay is surprisingly achievable and especially convenient for busy working adults like you. You will receive the same dynamic education and walk away with the same diploma as if you were taking classes on campus.

If you have a really busy lifestyle and are motivated enough to take classes online, it is the way to complete your schooling. I lived far away from the Hayward campus, so having the online option also saved me gas and drive time to get to class.

I didn't expect this program to be as fulfilling as it was. I expected to miss actually being on campus in a classroom setting, yet I truly enjoyed doing this online program. It allowed me to study when my schedule permitted, as well as being able to communicate with the professor and other students in class.

I already have a successful career. Still, I believe there were some previously unavailable opportunities that are now open because I completed the degree. Far more importantly, being able to apply newfound knowledge from the program to my job as I learned made me far more effective as a worker and manager.
