A written paper describing their internship experience including job descriptions and other factors that lead to a student s perception of the different career paths open to accountants. Also, the evaluation of the student from the employer is used to determine if our students are capable of contributing to the accounting profession. 100% of the students completing an internship will receive positive evaluations. The student should convey an understanding of several career paths open to accountants and in describing their internship experiences of performing or observing others performing these duties, exhibit an accurate, and practical description of the professional s responsibilities.

Table 3: ACC 441 Auditing Students in ACC 441 during the Spring of 2016 did very well on the assessment exercises. The class is very challenging, perhaps the most challenging course of the program. Although overall grades were lower than I would prefer, it was noticed that some students in the course had chosen it as a Business major elective. In the future, this course will only be open to Accounting majors.
13 Objective 4 Benchmark Results Evaluate issues relating to the basic concepts of payroll, taxation, and auditing. 80% of the students in ACC 441 will score at or above 90% 66% of the students in ACC 441 scored at or above 80% Table 4: Internships Students who major in Accounting at WWU must complete an internship experience during their junior or senior year. The students who completed these internships during the Fall of 2015 and the Spring of 2016 did so at H & R Block, Fifth Street Financial, and Emerson Electric. Students received excellent evaluations from their employers. The evaluations from the students indicated a complex level of accounting tasks and a tremendous amount of knowledge gained regarding the size and type of company that each student would prefer. Program Objective #7 Determine appropriate career paths based on actual experience obtained in a professional business environment. Benchmark 100% of students completing an internship will receive positive evaluations from their employers Results 100% of students completing an internship did receive positive evaluations from their employers. Analysis of Assessment: Law, auditing and advanced accounting are areas that we scored slightly under the average of other ACBSP schools. The internal auditing assessment also resulted in less than favorable results. WWU scored slightly better than these schools in ethics, economics, finance and intermediate accounting. The evaluations from the employers of our students who completed internships were all very favorable as well. The results indicate there is room for improvement in the curriculum. Recent changes regarding the amount of technology within the coursework and the merging of ACC 430 with BUS 450 will take more than one assessment cycle to create positive results. Analysis of the Assessment Process (Empirical & Non-Empirical) (HLC4B3) The accounting program is assessed through an external formative and summative computerized test that is administered by Peregrine Academic Services. These tests are taken at the beginning of the accounting coursework after the students have completed Principles of Accounting I and again at the end of the program in ACC 430 Applied Accounting Strategies. See Table 1 for Assessment Results.
14 In addition, the accounting program is assessed through individual assignments (internal, summative) given in ACC 321, ACC 319 and ACC 441. These courses are not taught every year. Results for ACC 441 are listed above. Objective 7 is assessed during the student s internship experience. The Accounting program is a department of one faculty member, but a division of 7, so all decisions are discussed between the faculty member and the Division Chair. In the 2015 and 2016 academic year, the ACBSP Quality Assurance Committee met monthly to discuss assessment and accreditation issues. Program Changes Based on Assessment: ACC 430 Applied Accounting Strategies will be collaborating with BUS 450 to provide accounting consultant services to the Business major capstone course. Also within this course, accounting students will have the opportunity to further their knowledge of computerized accounting software and financial analysis. By providing presentations and other forms of summative coursework, the accounting students will be able to practice pulling together their skills and knowledge of all aspects of accounting. Upper level accounting courses will be offered online and in the evening to provide a better variety of instruction from various CPAs who cannot teach during the day. General Education Assessment: Two of the courses required for an accounting degree also award the student with general education credits; BUS 214 Business Ethics and MAT 114 Elementary Statistics. The general education component of a bachelor s degree from WWU includes courses that improve the students skills and knowledge pertaining to critical analysis, creative expression, quantitative inquiry, and the society. ACC 240, ACC 241, ACC 312, ACC 322, ACC 430, MAT 114, MIS 125 and BUS 415 all address the quantitative inquiry element. ACC 441 furthers the students critical analysis skills. ACC 312, ACC 319, ECN 251 and ECN 252 assist in the students development of their place in society. Program Activities: Student Performance Day Activities (Assessment Day): During Assessment Days, the Accounting Department conducts an outbound assessment of their students who have completed or who are about to complete the capstone course, ACC 430. An inbound assessment test is given to students just beginning their Accounting education. Both of these tests are completed through the Peregrine Academic Assessment Services. The data received this year compared our scores to those of other ACBSP accredited schools. In most instances our students scored above the national average, but in others lightly below. Two areas of concern are law and statistics. The changes made in previous years will continue to show results for the near future.
15 Assessment Days during 2016 included a Panel Discussion. The Panel was comprised of adjunct faculty and alumni who work in the accounting profession. The students feedback was very positive about this event. Questions centered on assessing the need for further degrees or certification after college, interview techniques etc. Senior Achievement Day Presentations: Senior Achievement Day activities are seldom held within the Accounting program. The Senior Achievement Days occur every semester. They are an opportunity for each major to showcase their students capstone projects. Because of the small number of majors within the Accounting program, we do not offer the capstone course every semester. Therefore, quite often there are no seniors to participate. Students who complete ACC 430 will be demonstrating their achievements with the students from BUS 450 as they collaborate in the future as a result of the merging of ACC 430 and BUS 415. Service Learning Activities: The program mission does not include Service Learning. Our students engage in the community by completing internships at all types of businesses within Missouri as well as other states and countries. Program Sponsored LEAD Events: No LEAD events were sponsored this year from the accounting faculty. Student Accomplishments: Matt Bruno WWU Accounting and MBA graduate was accepted into the FBI. Faculty Accomplishments: None Alumni (Recent Graduates) Accomplishments (past year graduating class): Meagan Sharpe Employed as accountant for ABC Labs. Dyllon Harper Graduate Assistant for WWU Sports. Talia Slosson Unknown.

17 Additional Comments: Just to make sure I am reading it correctly, the number of students who took the peregrine was only 3? I don t know if you have many December graduates? Or if you would get higher numbers if you did the Peregrine more often? Just curious. Thank you for such complete data provided in the report. The chart from Peregrine is very helpful in that format and it make is easy to see exactly where the issues might be from the scores. The changes being made to the curriculum (combining ACC430 and BUS450) make logical sense and should prove to show an increase in student learning. A natural benefit to the combination is the availability of the course being more often and the class size consisting of enough students to create a stronger learning environment.
