Such measurements and analyses are helpful to those directly responsible for attaining production, marketing, and financial objectives.

Careers are available in corporate, nonprofit, and government organizations, as well as in the field of public accounting.

Options to Meet Requirements for the
Certified Public Accounting Exam

Accounting majors who desire to obtain the necessary hours (150 semester credit hours, of which 30 semester hours must be advanced hours in accounting coursework) required by the state of Texas to take the Uniform CPA Examination may do so in two ways at the University of Houston:

1. The M.S.Accy. degree and the professional program in accounting (PPA) for currently enrolled UH undergraduate accounting majors:
   
   The Accounting Department has developed a PPA plan that will allow students in the undergraduate accounting program to apply for the Master of Science in Accountancy (M.S.Accy.) program after their junior year. Admission is based on undergraduate GPA on the last sixty hours and GMAT scores (contact the Accountancy Program Office, 275 Melcher Hall, for details on admission requirements and procedures).
   
   Students accepted into the PPA will satisfy the requirements for the B.B.A. in Accounting, which may include up to six hours of graduate equivalent accounting courses taken in their senior year. Upon acceptance into the Master's program, students will then complete the remaining requirements for the M.S. Accy. degree and be eligible to sit for the CPA exam by the end of their fifth year.
   
   Students at UH with non-accounting backgrounds, students from other schools, or returning students may still pursue the M.S.Accy. degree, but are not eligible for the PPA plan. For further details on the M.S.Accy. degree requirements, see the Graduate and Professional Studies catalog or contact the Accountancy Program Office, 275 Melcher Hall. For further details on CPA requirements, contact the State CPA Board.
   
   
2. Certificate of Accountancy Program: The Bauer College of Business offers a nondegree Certificate of Accountancy though the Department of Accountancy and Taxation. This program is designed and limited to nondegree-seeking postbaccalaureate students who plan to sit for the Uniform CPA exam. Students should contact the Texas State Board of Accountancy for required general business courses. The certificate is awarded to students who complete at least ten courses in the program, excluding ACCT 5331. Courses in this program may not be used to meet degree requirements at the undergraduate or graduate level.
   
   Admission to this program is through the University of Houston Office of Admissions for students who apply and meet the university requirements for nondegree-seeking postbaccalaureate applicants. Students should contact the accounting advisor in the Accountancy Program Office, 275 Melcher Hall, for program and course information.

Department of Decision and Information Sciences

Chair:  Basheer M. Khumawala

Professors:
Wynne Chin, Randolph B. Cooper, Everette S. Gardner, Jr., Blake Ives, Basheer M. Khumawala, Richard W. Scamell

Associate Professors:
Dennis Adams, Elizabeth A. Anderson-Fletcher, Robert Bregman, Joaquin Diaz-Saiz, Archer McWhorter, Jr., Michael S. Parks, Jaana Porra

Assistant Professors:
Kathy L. Cossick (Clinical), Jamison Day, Norman A. Johnson, Iris A. Junglas, Philip D. Rogers (Clinical), Carl Scott (Clinical), Leiser Silva, Staci Smith (Clinical)

The Department of Decision and Information Sciences (DISC) offers two majors: management information systems and operations management. The variety and depth of courses provide an excellent foundation for careers in information systems or business operations.

Option I: Management Information Systems (MIS)

Studies in this major prepare students for positions in design, implementation, and administration of an organization's information systems. Emphasis is placed on managerial aspects of computer systems.

Without experience, students generally enter organizations as systems analysts or programmers. Graduates with work experience often take administrative positions related to the organization's information systems.

Of special importance to MIS majors is the Information Systems Research Center (ISRC), a forum for the interchange of ideas among information systems professionals in the academic and professional communities. The objectives of the ISRC are the training, development, and continuing education of MIS professionals; research in the development and utilization of MIS in organizations; the promotion of interaction among MIS professionals and academicians; and the education and development of MIS academicians.

Option II: Operations Management

This major deals with all the operations from the purchasing of the raw materials, their storage and transportation to the manufacturing facilities, the manufacturing process itself and the distribution of the finished products to the final customers via distribution centers, warehouses and retail outlets. A new growing area of operations management is also the handling operations of the returned goods, recycling, repairing, remanufacturing, and reuse. Operations management also exists in the service sector where similar operations take place from purchasing to the final delivery of the services; be in healthcare, financial institutions, banking, insurance, sports, entertainment, airlines, and food and restaurant. Thus the challenges in making all these operations the most efficient and effective are the keys to the success of any organization. As a result the opportunities for initial employment in operations management field and career advancements are tremendous.

Graduates of operations management majors find entry level jobs as analysts and/or consultants in areas such as service operations, quality management, project management, purchasing, inventory, transportation, manufacturing, logistics management, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), and other areas.

Decision and Information Sciences Requirements

Business majors must meet the business, nonbusiness, and elective requirements for a baccalaureate degree as well as the following for a Bachelor of Business Administration degree with a major in one of the following options:

Marketing with a Certificate in Professional Selling

The Program for Excellence in Selling (PES) is one of only a few nationally recognized selling programs. PES is a certificate program that accepts students of all majors, allowing students who are selected for the program to continue studying in their majors while also broadening their presentation and selling skills. PES teaches students how to effectively sell products, services, and, most importantly, themselves and their ideas.

Students are awarded Professional Selling certificates upon completion of a five-course sequence of sales and sales management courses: MARK 3337, MARK 4373, MARK 4376, MARK 4374, and MARK 4375. These courses may count toward degree requirements for Marketing majors, as advanced business electives for other majors within business, or toward a minor in sales.

Benefits of the program include a bi-annual sales mixer, job placement, and an alumni association. The sales mixer is planned, sold, and run by students in the program. Some of Houston's most prestigious companies attend this function to hire the best-trained sales professionals in the industry. In addition, positions are posted daily in the program office. The alumni association for PES grows every year, providing an ideal situation for sales students to network among themselves.

For further details on requirements, benefits, and admission to the program, consult the program Web site, www.bauer.uh.edu/pes/index.html, or call 713-743-4746.

Of special importance to entrepreneur majors is the Wolff Center for Entrepreneurship (WCE). The mission of the WCE is to organize and expand the knowledge and practice of entrepreneurship. WCE combines academic rigor with practical experience to provide the foundation needed to develop and manage business enterprises in a rapidly changing business environment. Utilizing the concept of team teaching, guest lecturers and intensive mentor programs, the center has formalized a "real-life, hands-on" learning approach that is changing the way America looks at entrepreneurship education.
