2002 AAA Annual Meeting Contest
The Curriculum Challenge

The American Accounting Association’s annual meeting in August, 2002 (San Antonio) will stress the theme “Reinvigorating Accounting Scholarship.” An important component of this thematic organization is a curriculum design challenge. The idea is straightforward: suppose you ignore textbooks, colleagues, employers, professional licensing, and whatever. What curriculum would you specify? Submissions are sought from individuals or groups, and the guidelines are few:

Guidelines: Specify whether this is a 4 year undergraduate program, a 5 year curriculum, or whatever, and what University constraints you assume (e.g., the university has a standard GE requirement of around 60 hours for an undergraduate program). From here list (1) course titles, (2) course hours, and (3) a one or two sentence course description. That’s it! (Of course this presumes your design actually has courses.)

The deadline is February 1, 2002. All submissions should be in electronic format, and sent to aaapres@notes.cba.ufl.edu.

Be creative and have fun!
