Proposed Courses of Action for Improvement in Learning Outcomes for which Performance Targets Were Not Met:

1. The students scored well on the standardized exam but did not meet expectations when it came to the capstone project involving research of standards. This is the 2nd year in a row that expectations were not met in the research project. The accounting faculty are revamping the capstone course for the 2016 spring semester and will include a greater focus on research.

2. The professional development rating is still below are goal of 4.5. A 1 credit course on Professional Development is required for all students in the semester before they plan to complete their internship. This was required of students entereing the university just 2 years ago, so was not in place for this group of graduating seniors. We hope to see an improvement in this rating in the near future.

To increase student satisfaction with leadership development, more opportunities for leadership will be presented to students and we will encourage more participation among all students. Along with our existing opportunities for leadership development, the Emerging Leaders Academy and DECA, this year a Lunch and Learn series was added which brings business and government leaders to the campus to interact with students once a month.

3. To increase academic rigor, undergraduate curriculum was reviewed and revised for some majors. This curriculum was not fully implemented for this group of graduating seniors. We will continue to emphasize and give reminders to full and adjunct faculty on increasing the academic rigor in the courses they teach. A new learning management system (LMS)was implemented university wide beginning of fall of 2014. This new system will be much more robust than the current LMS, allowing better interaction with technologies that can improve student learning.

1. Graduates of the financial services and banking program will be able to assess the financial performance and condition of a firm using financial statement analysis techniques.

2. Graduates of the financial services and banking program will be able to determine the value of financial assets by applying valuation models for stocks and bonds, and develop

strategies for managing portfolios.

3. Graduates of the financial services and banking program will be able to evaluate capital investments by applying capital budgeting techniques that integrate appropriate costs

of capital and capital structures and utilize the results in financial decision-making.

4. Graduates of the financial services and banking program will be able to understand risk, its effects on financing and investing decisions, and approaches to managing risk.

5. Graduates of the financial services and banking program will be able to demonstrate an understanding of the economic, political and legal environment and its effect on firms

and individuals, including the effects of tax and pension laws on financial decisions.

6. Graduates of the financial services and banking program will be able to design and evaluate personal financial plans, including investment, retirement and estate plans.

7. Graduates of the financial services and banking program will be able to understand the importance of building relationships within the community and with individuals in the
