ACCT 410: Thinking like a Strategic Business Partner

Course Description

This course is a culminating experience course open to any business major. This course addresses the development and use of accounting and other information for strategic decisions, including entrepreneurial/intrapreneurial activity (such as a design thinking project to introduce students to the design/creative business model process) and major strategic investments (such as capacity additions or acquisitions). The spirit is to enhance the ability of accounting students to participate as ‘business partners’ rather than just as ‘bookkeepers.’ This spirit applies to students from any major, however. Prerequisites: Business majors who are admitted to the School of Business, senior standing (last semester of enrollment), FINANCE 331, completion of or concurrent enrollment in BUSINESS 442 or 340, and submission of a graduation application. Special course fees may apply.
