ACCOUNTING ECONOMICS MANAGEMENT The Management Department chaired by Michael Dasovich, M.B.A. encompasses programs including Accounting and Eco- nomics. Each department offers a series of courses that introduce the student to certain basic and fundamental theories, concepts, and practices of the field of management. For those students majoring or minoring in Economics, the curriculum prepares them to take professional and graduate examina- tions and also equips them for a career in the economic-related professions. The overall objective of the curriculum is to develop stu- dents ' analytical abilities and to raise the so- cial consciousness so that they can better serve themselves and their society. The Department of Accounting seeks to provide students with opportunities to de- velop a major concentration in the field of accounting or supplement other fields of study with course work which will enhance the breadth of their total educational experi- ence. A major in accounting provides oppor- tunities for students to obtain the background necessary to prepare for public, private and government accounting posi- tions. 27
