Abstract An evolutionary five-year professional program of accounting education will be inaugurated at the University of Houston, Texas beginning September 1958. It stems primarily from the recommendations of the American Accounting Association, American Association of Collegiate Schools of Business, and the Commission on Standards of Education and Experience for Certified Public Accountants. Perhaps the many hours of research and discussion devoted to this project may be helpful to others in their planning. Upon satisfactory completion of the requirements, the new professional Bachelor of Accountancy degree (B.Acc.) will be awarded. If a student follows the Suggested Schedule of Courses mentioned in the article, he can be awarded the Bachelor of Business Administration degree (B.B.A.) with a major in accounting at the end of the fourth year. In the Suggested Schedule of Courses, it will be observed that only one accounting course is suggested in each semester of the third year. Flexibility is thereby provided for those situations where Introductory Accounting is not offered until the second year. It should be noted that, a graduate from the above Suggested Schedule of Courses would have a major in accounting, under present regulations.
