Part
II:
The Current State of Accounting Education
Accounting
and the University at Large
Accounting education programs, as well as other undergraduate professional programs, have never accommodated well to the fundamental educational goals of a university. While medicine and law established their relationship with the arts, sciences, and humanities colleges by requiring that professional education follow the liberating and comprehensive body of human knowledge, accounting and engineering, for example, have integrated the liberal arts and the practical arts. Today, the arts, sciences, and humanities colleges are calling for a relationship with accounting and other professional education programs somewhat similar to that which they have with law and medicine.
