8. Program structure Effective with the freshmen AY 2003-2004 of Bachelor of Science in Accountancy (BSA), the Accountancy Department of DLSU-M had implemented a new approach to teaching accounting. This innovative approach trains the students to read more, to have more extensive coverage of the topics in a continuous manner, to be proactive in the learning process, and to have more opportunities to relate theories to actual cases. There are four (4) terms out of eleven (11) terms of the program that are exclusively devoted to the study of accounting. The topics of the major subjects are divided into modules as follows:Module 1: Financial Accounting and Cost accountingModule 2: Advanced Accounting, Auditing Principles, and Information SystemsModule 3: Management Accounting, Auditing Problems, Thesis, and PracticumModule 4: Integrated Review of CPA board exam subjects Students are enrolled in each module in one (1) term. Each module is further divided into six (6) or seven (7) 3-unit sub-modules. These sub-modules are made up of topics that are handled by assigned faculty members (full-time or part-time) and practitioners. Learning activities in each module include lecture and laboratory periods, case analysis, presentations, quizzes, and comprehensive examination. The comprehensive examination is the equivalent of the final examination for each sub-module. The schedule on a daily basis showing date, time, topic and activity and supplementary materials are available on-line and can be downloaded by the students. Students are required to satisfactorily pass with a grade of 2.0 each sub-module of Module 1 to qualify for enrollment in Module 2. The conforme of the parents to this department policy is in Form No. ACC-01b. As required by CHED, our retention policy only allows our students to re-take the sub-module once if they get a grade of 1.0 or 1.5. A second failure to obtain the required grade automatically disqualifies the student from the BSA program except the student may be allowed to take a sub-module for the third time provided that:
The student who takes any sub-module for the third time and still fails to obtain a grade of 2.0 shall automatically be disqualified from the BSA program. Such student should shift to another program. |
