Abstract

Claremont McKenna College (CMC) initiated a formal program (the CMC Practicum Program) for the teaching of experiential learning courses in 1992. During the 1996-97 academic year, the author instituted a one-semester practicum course to assist accounting students in mastering the concepts of accounting information system (AIS) design. This article details both the challenges and advantages incurred in the development of this experiential learning course.
