Master of Public Accountancy - New Course Proposal for SEC Accounting -
MPAcc-6250.
When the change was made from quarters to semesters, this course was not rolled
forward as it didn’t appear that it was needed. After being without the course
for three years, it was determined by the School of Accountancy faculty that its
absence left a significant hole in the Masters of Professional Accountancy
curriculum.

The growing emphasis on logistics processes in business is accelerating the
demand for certified purchasing managers. The certification requires a minimum
level of experience plus successful completion of a four part exam administered
by the National Association of Purchasing Management. This exam has just been
updated for 2001. This course is designed to be a rigorous preparation for the
new exam, incorporating descriptive/analytical material, quantitative material
(make versus buy cost comparisons, the mathematics of incentive contracts, cost
estimating and analysis, etc.), and emerging supply chain management practices.
This course is designed to replace the existing LOM 1730 course.

Professional Development Workshop in Purchasing and Supply Management - LOM
5100.

The IS&T Business Advisory Council in October, 1999, urged the department to implement courses that covered the area of information security. The IS&T 4600 Computer Forensics course fills a gap in existing curriculum as it focuses not only on issues of creating a secure network, but also, includes the skill sets to detect, investigate and prevent cyber crime.
