Description
This is where the rubber hits the road. In the 4 main courses you learned the nuts and bolts of accounting and here in this 5th course we teach you how those fundamental principles apply to the REAL WORLD. In the 4 courses we learn knowledge, but here we learn wisdom with real-life examples. As you can see below, we present 8 new lessons that will help you see how an accounting education relates to the world around you. This is an eye-opening experience.
For example, In Course #1, Lesson 10, you learned how to analyze the Financial Statements. Then in Course #5, Lesson #5 below, we help you see how to take your knowledge of the financial statements and use that understanding to invest in the stock market. Although, not intended to be a full investment course, these lessons show you how to APPLY what you have learned.
In some respects, these 8 Lessons are the most powerful presentations we offer. These lessons are taught by world experts in their respective fields of study, and you will see how accounting applies to world around you like never before. While its impossible to cover all the applications that an accounting education can influence, we cover many of them here which will give you an excellent foundation as you continue with your education.
These lectures are so powerful for our on-campus students that every semester we DOUBLE the amount of students who are interested in majoring in our world-renowned accounting program. No other university program on the planet has that level of recruitment and we tie that interest to these specific lessons in course #5. Why is that? Because when students see HOW accounting principles can be applied to the real world, their minds open up and they see the VALUE and WISDOM of an accounting education.
This is what makes our course so powerful, the ability to focus on the core ideas and then learn how we can take those principles and create real change in our lives and companies. Awesome things happen when we take theory and apply it!
