The Accounting Curriculum.

Abstract Accounting has long been one of the most popular courses offered in our colleges, and this in spite of the difficulty of the subject matter and the high percentage of failures among the students. With a proper course of study and with competent instructors, the study of accounting offers many real benefits to the serious and diligent student. Accounting as a subject contains a great amount of factual information of value to students interested in general economic affairs and business practices. Then too, accounting is a scientific method of analysis and study of business activities. Accounting provides a valuable discipline and method of study requiring a careful and accurate analysis of business situations, neatness and precision in recording the effects of transactions, and logic and integrity in presenting and interpreting the results of financial activities. Accounting combines the mental discipline of mathematics and logic and at the same time offers a course rich in practical information.
