The Mount Senario Business Program has created an atmosphere where students are involved in courses, thus the instructors become facilitators rather than traditional lecturers. In addition to the teaching principles and theory in business courses, there is an emphasis on developing critical thinking skills. Knowing only the facts and the methodologies of business and accounting does not sufficiently prepare students for their careers. Graduates today need to be competent solution developers.
Accounting is a dynamic discipline.
The professors at Mount Senario College believe it is their responsibility to know not only what are current generally accepted accounting principles but to keep abreast with the changing business environment. Also, accounting is not performed in a vacuum. It is an interactive function of business. Part of most business and accounting courses is to utilize teaching strategies which use current business events and link them to the course material. The integration of course material from other accounting and business courses has been a successful strategy for student learning.
