There have been no curriculum changes in the required course of study under the accounting option in the areas of business law, income tax accounting, or auditing since the upsurge of legal suits involving professional accountants or since the Littler Committee's report in 1969. The study results will disclose whether or not changes in curriculum or course content are needed. They will also provide guidance to the School of Commerce relative to the degree of need for any changes.enEducation--CurriculaEvaluationAccountingLawEducation, HigherProfessional PaperCopyright 1972 by Roselae Hoffman Babcock
