Calendar Change, Undergraduate Department, Beedie School of Business

Effective:

Fall 2013

Summary

of Changes:

•

Addition of Accounting Concentration to Major Program, several Joint Major programs,

and

the Second Degree program

•

Change to the Accounting (Honours) Concentration in the Honours Program, and

Honours,

plus honours term at the Segal Graduate School of Business (Spring 2013

Calendar)

Rationale:

In

2009, the Undergraduate Program changed the accounting concentration to an accounting

honours concentration

to provide a more specialized accounting program. The requirement of

having and maintaining a CGPA of 3.0 for the accounting honours concentration has meant that

a larger number of students than anticipated are unable to complete the accounting honours

concentration.

As well, the students have found that being required to complete the 132 units

of the honours concentration is too onerous and many qualified students are opting not to take

the concentration. Because the demand for accounting among the Business students remains

high,

the Undergraduate Program has decided to remove the accounting honours concentration

and

replace it by putting an accounting concentration back in place. To control the number of

students taking the concentration, the Program will require that students apply for the

concentration and meet a predetermined CGPA of 2.7 and a C+ in both BUS 320 and 360W.

The complete calendar section on the Business Honours Program, Accounting Concentration

will

need to be removed and the new Accounting Concentration inserted in the section of the

calendar where the other Business concentrations are located.

The

following programs will be affected by these changes:

Edits/Additions:

•

Major Program

•

Honours Program

•

Honours, plus honours term at the Segal Graduate School of Business

•

Economics & Business Joint Major

•

Economics & Business Joint Honours

•

IAT & Business Joint Major (BBA, BA)

•

IAT & Business Joint Major (BSc)

•

Second Undergraduate Degree in Business
