Why this petition matters

Started by Sylvia Kowal

The ACC407 NFP Government Accounting class at West Chester University (WCUPA)  is a mandatory class for Undergrad degree in accounting required by this school. Many other schools (Penn State, Bloomberg’s Univ, Rowan Univ) require this specialized course only for a Master/graduate degree. 

In addition, only one professor teaches this class at West Chester. It is nearly impossible to see him during “open hours” because of a long line of students waiting to speak to him. Another line forms during the class registration because one has to complete this course in order to graduate ; there is only one section and no winter and/or summer semesters offerings.

This makes a situation where it is nearly impossible to graduate on time and increases  a financial burden of already expensive college education. 

WCUPA must consider :

1. Offer this class as an elective;  as a choice among other 400 level classes 

OR

2. Add additional professor to teach this class (additional section) 

OR

3. Allow a similar course from a different institution (on-line or in-class) as an alternative option for the students to take 

Any of these 3 options would allow students flexibility to pick the best schedule and graduate as planned.
