Info

• The instructors teaching the course appear to uniformly assign rigorous grades to filter students entering the accounting program. • Students entering the Accounting program exhibit much diversity in terms of gender and race. The issue of poorer performing African American students must be studied and evaluated further to improve their performance relative to students from other races and ethnic backgrounds. • The students by and large are non-traditional (28 years old and twenty-nine percent in distance education). • Transfer students performed as well as Old Dominion University students. The Department plans to continue this assessment technique in AY05 and maybe analyze student performance in Accounting 311, Managerial Accounting, (another entry level course), and Accounting 411, Financial Auditing (the final required accounting course). The Department also benchmarked its MBA Core Course. The benchmarking study indicated that MBA programs requiring fewer than 50 hours to complete required only one core accounting course that was 66% financial accounting and 34% managerial. Consequently, the department has revised the course syllabus to reflect this result.
Appendix 8 - Department of Accounting Maintenance Report AY 2004/2005 AACSB Annual Maintenance of Accreditation Report - AY 2004/05 Department of Accounting College of Business and Public Administration Old Dominion University Progress Update Submitted by: Douglas E. Ziegenfuss Chair and Professor June 11, 2005 Academic Year (AY) 05 was very good for the Department. First, the Department addressed all outstanding issues from its last accreditation visit in a letter to AACSB dated January 15, 2005. Situational Analysis The Department of Accounting (The Department) is part of the College of Business and Public Administration (The College) at Old Dominion University (The University). Dean Bagranoff and Associate Dean Ardalan have produced a separate College maintenance report that will be referenced in this report when its material is relevant to the Department’s activities. Dr. Douglas E. Ziegenfuss continues to serve as Department Chair. Likewise, Dr. Otto Martinson serves as Graduate Program Director (GPD) for the Masters of Science in Accounting (MSA) program and Ms. Terry Kubichan serves as the Undergraduate Student Advisor. These individuals have served in their respective positions for five years providing much needed leadership continuity over the Department’s operations. The Department continued to focus on the action items and on strategic planning issues during the 05 Academic Year (AY05). The Department was successful in raising more funds for research than in the Academic Year 04 (AY04) due to the success of its CPA Review Course and the delivery of Ethics Courses to local CPAs. Several faculty members attended continuing education programs put on by AACSB, Accounting Program Leadership Group (APLG)/Federation of Schools of Accountancy (FSA), PricewaterhouseCoopers, and the Virginia Society of Certified Public
