Topics include cost behavior, budgeting, responsibility accounting, and product costing.Prerequisite: ACCT 2301 with a grade of C or higher.” I suspect that you are anxious to find out howthis class will connect to your interests and future plans. For those of you who are accounting majors, you are probably wondering how managerial accounting differs from financial accounting and whether managerial accounting is something you will enjoy. For those of you who are non-accounting majors, you may feel this class is a hurdle you need to overcome on the path to your major coursework. I strongly believe that this is the most useful accounting class you will ever take. I say that not because I teach the class, but because one of the most important uses of accounting information is to help managers and business professionals make day-to-day internal business decisions. We will be learning how to use accounting information for internal decision making all semester long. That makes this class incredibly relevant for anyone who expects to work for an organization where money comes in (as revenue or donations) and money is spent. 1Student Learning OutcomesAt the end of this course, I hope you will have a foundational knowledge of managerial accounting, improved critical thinking skills, and an enhanced professional identity. The means will use to achieve these learning outcomes are as follows:- Student Learning Outcome 1: Demonstrate a foundational knowledge of managerial accounting.
