| Description and Justification for this request | A new, 30 hour Masters of Professional Accounting with
concentrations in Analytics and Assurance, Taxation, and Corporate Accounting
utilizing existing courses within the Master of Accountancy and other Walton
programs. One new tax course, ACCT 5853, State and Local Taxation, is being
developed.
| The ACCTMP is responsive to the shifting skillset and additional demands within the Accounting Profession. More Universities are adapting specialized content into their graduate accounting degrees. Whereas past accounting Master degrees tended to be general in nature, more specialized degree paths and skills are being sought by career entrants. Emerging technology is changing the core ways that the accounting profession is providing services. As a result, new skills that involve data analytics are needed. Complementing these technical skills, the workplace has increased its emphasis on the development of soft skills, such as leadership and professionalism. The complexity of business environments that accounting professionals face has also increased the demand for richer content, including complex tax issues, technology environments, regulatory reporting requirements among others. The importance of Internships has also increased. We are also seeing a greater number of our students take initial accounting employment outside of traditional public accounting roles. |

| Description and justification of the request | The admission requirements have been changed to only require
the GRE for applicants with a GPA below 3.5 in prior graduate work. To take
a
more holistic approach, the admissions committee will rely on educational
experience, academic qualifications, writing sample, and quality of fit between
the student and the
Ed.S. program. | The Ed.S. is a practitioner degree and our applicants must have already earned a Master's degree with a GPA over 3.25. By setting a cutoff at 3.5, we are expecting applicants to have completed prior academic work with a high level of achievement. This is more than sufficient, when considered alongside the other data points, for admission to the Ed.S. |
The Ed.S program is being revised to add concentrations in
Program Administration, K-12 Online Teaching, Literacy/Dyslexia, and
Education Examiner. | These changes add additional options for UA
students
concurrently seeking educator endorsement in a specific specialization and an advanced graduate degree. |

Finally, the admission criteria omits the GRE in favor of a process based on prior experience and academic achievement. | This program no longer existed in reality as it was represented on paper. It was far too specific when it was created and relied upon classes that were rarely, if ever, taught.

SlideRoom into the catalog copy. | The Master of Design Studies is a
post-professional degree serving practitioners within the architecture,
landscape architecture, and interior design fields. The strengths of design
practitioners are better revealed through a rigorous portfolio review, where
problem analysis and solutions are communicated graphically, pictorially, and
verbally. This is a better indicator of student success compared to a
standardized exam.
Further, the GRE and other standardized exams are a barrier, both financially and perceptually, to a diverse range of student applicants. |
Update CIP code. | The Master of Design Studies degree is
multidisciplinary with students from architecture, landscape architecture,
and interior design professionals accepted into the program. As a post
professional degree, the integration
of complex systems within the built environment is foundational to all of the degree concentrations. The continued and dramatic changes in the climate bring these technologies to the forefront and require important awareness of and response to these changing demands. |
