The purpose of this paper is to describe the 5-year (150-hour) integrated accounting program developed as a "moderate restructuring" in one major public university (without funding from an AECC grant). The 5-year integrated accounting program emphasizes critical thinking, communications, and interpersonal skills, and includes coursework in general education, business, and accounting. The general education segment includes "clusters" of courses in various liberal arts areas. The business and accounting segments include core courses plus elective courses which allow students to develop breadth or depth. Also included in the program are writing-intensive, undergraduate seminar, and international studies components. © 1994.
