Proposed Changes for 1994-1995 Calendar
The Faculty of Business Administration requests consideration by SCUS of its - -
?
?
--
?
- lOud gr5posa1s for -
changes in language for. the 1994-1995 Calendar.
(1) ACCOUNTING area changes:
[a]
Renumbering BUS 324-3, Managerial Accounting I, as BUS 254-3.
Change of prerequisites:
From: ?
BUS 251; 60 credit hours. Students with credit for BUS 328
may not take BUS 324 for further credit.
?
•
?
To: ?
BUS 251; 15 credit hours. Students with credit for BUS 324
or BUS 328 may not take BUS 224 for further credit.
Rationale: To move the introductory course in managerial
accounting to the 200 division to be more congruent with
other B.C. postsecondary institutions. Will permit
transfer credit from the colleges.
Removing BUS 324 from list of Core courses required of all Business
majors and honors students.
Adding BUS 254 to list of Lower Division requirements that all majors,
minors and honors must complete before graduation. (Note: BUS 254
will not become a prerequisite to admission to the Faculty.)
[b]
Deleting BUS 252-3, Financial Accounting II, and replacing it with BUS
319-3, Integrative Financial and Managerial Accounting
Calendar description: For students planning further course work in
accounting Its integrative approach includes financial and managerial
accounting topics, alternative accounting models, accounting systems
and accounting data management, international accounting and
accounting ethics.
Prerequisites: BUS 254, BUS 237,60 credit hours. Students with credit for
BUS 252 may not take BUS 319 for further credit.
OA
Rationale: BUS 252 has dealt with material usually dealt with in upper
division at other university business programs. Other B. C
universities and B. C. colleges have not had a counterpart course. As
part of the coordinating process with other postsecondary institutions
it seems logical to move it to upper division. The growth of
managerial accounting material makes this a good time to reduce the
course's former concentration on financial accounting by introducing
managerial material not conveniently coverable by BUS 254 or BUS
424, Managerial Accounting II. BUS 319 will become a prerequisite for
all other upper division accounting courses.
[c] Change in Accounting Concentration requirements:
From: ?
BUS 251-3
Financial Accounting I
252-3 Financial Accounting II
320-3
Financial Accounting Assets
321-3
Financial Accounting Equities
324-3 Managerial Accounting I
421-3 Accounting Theory
424-3
Managerial Accounting II
To:
?
BUS 251-3 Financial Accounting I
254-3 Managerial Accounting I
319-3
Integrative Financial and Managerial Accounting
320-3
Financial Accounting Assets
321-3
Financial Accounting Equities
421-3
Accounting Theory
424-3 Managerial Accounting II
Rationale: 254 replaces 324 and 319 replaces 252.
[d]
Change in prerequisites--BUS 320-3, Financial Accounting Assets
From: ?
BUS 252; 60 credit hours.
To: ?
BUS 319; 60 credit hours.
Rationale: 319 replaces 252.
Eel Change in prerequisites--BUS 424, Managerial Accounting II
From:
?
BUS 324 and BUEC 333; 60 credit hours.
To: ?
BUS 319, BUEC 333,75 credit hours.
Rationale: 319 requires 254, which replaces 324. Students have tended to
take 424 too early, before they have completed much work in non-
accounting business areas. The increase in credit hours is intended to
correct this.
[f] Change in Prerequisites--BUS 426-3, Auditing Concepts and Methods
From: ?
BUS 420; 60 credit hours
3
?
• ?
To: ?
BUS 321; 60 credit hours.
Rationale: Requiring 420 has delayed student access to 426, with related
scheduling and enrolment problems. It is believed that 321 will
provide enough background for 426 students.
[g] Change in prerequisites--BUS 427-3, Seminar in International Accounting
From: ?
BUS 321 and 324; 60 credit hours
To: ?
BUS 321; 60 credit hours.
Rationale: BUS 324 is deleted from prerequisites because its inclusion has
become redundant. The course replacing it (BUS 224) will now be a
prerequisite to BUS 319, which in turn is a prerequisite to BUS 320,
which in turn is a prerequisite to BUS 321.
(2)FINANCEarea
change:
?
- -
Change in prerequisites, BUS 312-4, Business Finance
From: ?
Either BUS 324 or BUS 328; 60 credit hours
To:
?
BUS 254 or BUS 324 or BUS 328; 60 credit hours
Rationale: Recognition of the renumbering of BUS 324 to BUS 254.
(3)
POLICY ANALYSIS area changes:
[a] Renumbering BUS 307-3, Managerial Economics, as BUS 207-3.
Changing prerequisites
?
I
?
From: ?
ECON 103, 105; 60 credit hours. Students with credit for
ECON 301 may not take BUS 307 for further credit.
To:
?
ECON 103,105; MATH 157; 15 credit hours. Students with
credit for ECON 301 or BUS 307 may not take BUS 207 for
further credit.
BUS 307 is to be removed from the list of Core courses required of all
majors and honors students.
BUS 207 is to be added to the Lower Division requirements that all
majors, minors and honors students must complete before
graduation. (Note: BUS 207 will not become a prerequisite to
admission to the Faculty.)
Rationale: Renumbering brings our curriculum into greater
consistency with U.B.C. and U.Vic, and facilitates college
transfers. Math 157 was implicitly required for BUS 307 because
virtually all students taking 307 had been admitted as Business
majors. This required completion of BUEC 232, which had 157
as prerequisite. It is now necessary to make this implicit
requirement explicit. The shift from 60 to 15 credit hours (the
usual hours prerequisite for BUS 200 division courses) is made
because a 60 credit hours prerequisite would be inappropriate for
a 200 division course.
.
3
FbI Change in numbering of Commercial Legal Relations, from BUS 399-3 to
BUS 476-3. Change in vector from 2-1-0 to 0-3-0.
Rationale: T
he course has proved to be better taught in a seminar format,
so that a 400 division number seems more appropriate. It is also of
interest for students in our daytime MBA program, and a 400 division
number seems more appropriate for its being offered jointly with an
800 division Selected Topics course.
(4) MARKETING area changes:
[a]
Changes in concentration requirements
FROM: ?
BUS 343-3 Introduction to Marketing
347-3 Buyer Behavior
442-3 Introduction to Marketing Research
and two of
BUS 344-3 Industrial Marketing
445-3 Analysis of Data for Management
446-4 Marketing Strategy
447-3 International Marketing Management
448-4 Promotion Management
449-3 Marketing and Society
TO:
The above, with the addition, after "449...", of "At least one of
these must be selected from 344, 446, or 447."
Rationale: Of the six courses from which two must be chosen, three
are seen by the Marketing area as more central to a marketing
specialization than are the others.
[b]
BUS 445-3 Analysis of Data for Management--change in prerequisites
FROM: ?
60 credit hours
TO:
?
BUS 343, BUEC 333, 60 credit hours.
Rationale: Experience suggests students will be more adequately
prepared if they have completed 343 and 333, which are
also prerequisites to 442, the complementary course.
(5) ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOR area change:
The Area name is to be changed to "Human Resource Management".
Rationale: "Organizational Behavior" really refers to only one sub-
area of study, ignoring the organizational development, human
resource management, and industrial relations sub-areas. No
one name that is short enough to be usable covers them all, but
it was felt that "Human Resource Management" would be
II
5
• ? somewhat better at this. The Faculty recently added a third HRM
course to its curriculum and concentration requirements. In
addition, "HRM" makes clearer to students and their potential
employers that concentrators may possess professional and
managerial skills in the personnel management field.
(6) FACULTY-WIDE changes:
[a] BUS 499-5, Directed Studies--change in prerequisites
FROM: ?
Permission of the Faculty; 90 credit hours
TO: ?
Permission of the Faculty; 60 credit hours
Rationale: This makes the hours requirement the same as BUS 498-3,
Directed Studies (and virtually every other upper
division business course). Quality control is retained by
the requirement of faculty member and Faculty advance
approval.
FbI Joint Major with Department of Spanish and Latin American Studies
The reference to the proposed joint major would be under the "Joint
Programs"section of our Calendar entry
(pp.
135-136 of the 93-94 Calendar).
The "Common Requirements" introduction to that section would apply.
0 ?
Joint Major in Business Administration and Latin American Studies
Business Administration Requirements
The student must successfully complete the core courses (which must
include BUS 346-3, International Business) and two of the following
courses:
BUS 349-3 North American International Trade Issues
BUS 427-3 Seminar in International Accounting
BUS 430-3 Comparative Management
BUS 431-3 Business with Pacific Rim Countries
BUS 447-3 International Marketing Managment.
With the permission of the International Business area coordinator
and the Faculty, another course may be substituted for the five listed
above.
Latin American Studies Requirements
Lower Division:
Reading and speaking competence in Spanish or Portuguese
equivalent to the successful completion of three college level
courses must be demonstrated.
. ?
A minimum of 12 semester hours is required including
LAS 140-3 Cultural Heritage of Latin America
D
LAS 200-3 Introduction to Latin American Issues.
The remaining 6 semester hours are to be taken from the
approved list of Latin American Content courses in the Spanish
and Latin American Studies section of the Calendar, from at
least two departments.
Upper Division:
Twenty upper division semester hours of Latin American
Studies credit, including at least 12 credit hours in both LAS 300
and 400 division courses as well as a minimum of 2 upper
division Latin American Content courses in disciplines outside
the joint major.
Rationale: The joint major increases the options open to the growing
number of Business majors interested in international business, and
provides broader access to understanding some of the societies and
cultures with whom Canadians would do business.
[c] Changes in Joint Major and Joint Honors Programs with Department of
Economics:
Joint Major:
FROM:
Students must complete
--at least 25 hours of upper division credit in Business Administration
including the core courses (excluding BUS 307-3) (see Core Courses
under Major Program).
--at least two 400 division
courses*
(excluding practicum courses and
BUS 478-3)
--either an area of concentration or at least two courses from each of two
different areas.
--plus at least 25 hours of upper division credit in Economics including
ECON 301-5 Intermediate Microeconomic Theory
305-5 Intermediate Macroeconomic Theory
--and at least two 400 division Economics courses.
--Economics Group Requirements: students must complete one of the
following courses
ECON 100-3 Introduction to Economics
102-3 Twentieth Century Economies
208-3 History of Economic Thought
250-3 History of Economic Development A
252-3 History of Economic Development B
353-5 Economic History of Canada
395-5 Comparative Economic Systems
409-3 Seminar in Economic Thought
451-3 Seminar in European Economic History
*these courses may be within the area(s) of concentration.
?
0
n
TO:
Students must complete
--at least 29 hours of upper division credit in Business Administration,
?
including the core courses with the following exceptions:
The core course requirement that one of BUS 303, 304, 346, 349, 403, 449,
or BUEC 391 be completed is waived.
BUEC 333, which must be taken, will count as upper division
Economics hours rather than as upper division Business
Administration hours.
--three courses beyond the core must be completed within the requirements
for a Concentration.
--at least two 400 division BUS or BUEC
courses*
(excluding practicum
_courses and B US 478). ?
-
*These courses may be within the area of Concentration.
plus at least 25 hours of upper division credit in Economics including
ECON 301-5 Intermediate Microeconomic Theory
305-5
Intermediate Macroeconomic Theory
--at least two 400 division Economics courses.
--Economics Group
Requirements: students must complete one of the
following courses
ECON 100-3 Introduction to Economics
.
?
102-3
Twentieth Century Economies
208-3
History of Economic Thought
250-3
History of Economic Development A
252-3 History of Economic Dervelopment B
353-5 Economic History of Canada
395-5
Comparative Economic Systems
409-3
Seminar in Economic Thought
451-3
Seminar in European Economic History
Rationale for Business Administration changes:
Despite the "at least 25 hours" language, the existing joint major really
required 35 hours for the typical economics joint major (23 Core hours plus
12 Concentration hours). This number of hours was excessive for a joint
major, and was as many hours as could reasonably be expected of a joint
honors program. It was therefore decided to reduce the Core hours by three,
through eliminating the requirement that one "environmental" course (303,
304,346 ... ) be taken, and to reduce the Concentration hours by three. This cuts
the hours requirement from 35 to 29.
Joint Honors
FROM:
--MATH 158-3 (or MATH 152-3 or 155-3) is required
VA
--at least 28 semester hours of upperr division credit in Business
Administration including the Core courses (excluding BUS 307-3)
--either an area of concentration or at least two courses from each of two
different areas of concentration.
--at least three 400 division Business Administration
courses*
(excluding
practicum courses and BUS 478-3)
--plus at least 28 semester hours of upper division credit in Economics
including
ECON 301-5 Intermediate Microeconomic Theory
305-5 Intermediate Macroeconomic Theory
331-5 Introduction to Mathematical Economics
402-3 Advanced Topics in Microeconomics
403-3 Advanced Topics in Macroeconomics
BUEC 333-3 Elementary Economics and Business Statistics II must be
included in the joint honors program, but is not counted as part of the 28
upper division hours in either Business Administration or Economics.
*Note: These courses may be within the area(s) of concentration.
TO:
In meeting the requirements for the Joint Honors program, students must
include at least one of the courses in the Economics Group Requirement.
Lower division requirements:
Students must satisfy the lower division requirements for a joint major in
Business Administration and Economics.
Upper division requirements:
--at least 35 semester hours of upper division credit in Business
Administration, including the core courses with the exception of BUEC
333, which is counted as Economics upper division hours rather than
Business Administration upper division hours..
--an area of concentration.
--at least three 400 division
courses*
(excluding practicum courses and
BUS 478).
*These courses may be within the area of Concentration.
--plus at least 32 semester hours of upper division credit in Economics
or BUEC including
ECON 301-5
ECON 305-5
ECON 331-5
ECON 402-3 OR ECON 403-3
ECON 435-5
ECON 499-6
8
F61
9
. ?
BUEC 333-3
Rationale for Business Administration changes:
These changes in the main reflect the Department of Economics' revisions of
its honours program (and therefore its portion of the joint honors program--
changes of which the Faculty of Business Administration approves).
Examples are the dropping of the second Calculus course requirement and
the ending of the exclusion of BUEC 333 from counting as upper division
hours. As in the case of the joint major, the previous "at least 28 hours"
figure was unrealistically lower than the component requirements added up
to; the "at least 35 hours" is more realistic.

3. Objectives of the Course
EXPLANATION:
Renumbering brings our curriculum into greater consistency with U.B.C. and U.Vic., and facilitates
college transfer. MATH 157 was implicitly required (via BUEC 232 as major admission requirement).
"60 credit hours" is inappropriate for a 200 division course.

?
Robert Rogow, Undergraduate Program Director,
Faculty of Business Administration
Subject: ?
Addendum to Proposed Calendar Changes: Change of
Prerequisites, BUS 447 430, 431
If it is not too late to do so, could the following be added to the Faculty of
Business Administration's proposed 1994-1995 Calendar changes? It has been
approved by the Undergraduate Curriculum Committee of the Faculty of
Business Administration.
The additional change is in prerequisites for three fourth year courses in the
International Business
concentration:
.
?
BUS 430 Comparative Management
BUS 431 Business with Pacific Rim Countries
BUS 447
International
Marketing Management
In all 3 cases, "Corequisite: BUS 346" would be added to the existing
prerequisites. Those prequisites now are:
BUS 430 60 credit hours
BUS 431 60 credit hours
BUS 447 BUS 343, 60 credit hours.
BUS 447 is also part of the Marketing area's offerings, and is one of six
marketing courses from which concentrators must do two. The Marketing
area coordinator, Bob Wyckham, has informed me that his area has no
objection to the change in 447 prerequisites.
RATIONALE:
BUS 346, International Business, is the introductory international
business course. It is also one of the six "environmental" courses from which
all majors must do one course. Because large numbers of students register for
the fourth year courses without 346, too much class time must be devoted to
reviewing 346 material.

This course is a replacement for BUS-252. This course will
first be offered in 94-4, it will be taught 6 times a year
to about 350 students per class. It will be offered once
every two years.
Of the 5 items in the text list 3 are in the catalogue
so 2 must be purchased at a cost of $162.
