The Benefits of An Endowment ProgramInstitute of Internal Auditors Dallas ChapterAPPENDIX AComparing University ProgramsSection Objectives:The objective for this section, comparing university programs, was to identify the variousauditing curricula offered by the three universities (University of North Texas, University ofTexas at Arlington, and the University of Texas at Dallas) in the study. We have also provided anoverall comparison of the universities based on academics, cost, financial aid, admissions, studentsatisfaction, student body, and the U.S. News Online magazine article entitled 2001 CollegeRankings – College Comparison Worksheet.Our research methodology included reviewing the following for each of the three universities(UNT, UTA, and UTD): University course catalogs University class schedules University Accounting Department web sites U.S. News College Comparison Worksheet.Literature Review and Background:UNT offers an Internal Audit Specialty for the Masters of Science in Accounting. In addition toUNT’s Internal Auditing course, other graduate level auditing courses (Audit InvestigativeProcess and EDP Control and Auditing) are required. UTA offers two undergraduate InternalAuditing courses. However, UTA does not offer a specialty in Internal Auditing at either theundergraduate or graduate level. UTD does not offer internal auditing courses.All three universities are public schools. UNT and UTA are comparable in size and the cost toattend the universities. UTD is a smaller university. UNT has more applicants per year at 7,414compared to UTA with 2,514 and UTD with 2,280. UTD appears to be more selective and hashigher average SAT/ACT scores than UNT or UTD. U.S. News considers all three schoolsdiverse (see the Table 1 for the U.S. News: College Comparison Worksheet.)We have included tables that list the prerequisites for Internal Auditing courses (Table 2), otherundergraduate audit courses (Table 4), and other graduate level audit courses (Table 4). Thesetables give the reader the perspective of the types of auditing courses offered, prerequisitesneeded for auditing courses, and how often audit courses are offered. They also describe thethree universities and their audit course curricula in more detail.Conclusion:After reviewing the attached course listing, it appeared that UNT has a well-rounded program forInternal Auditing. UNT requires more overall prerequisites for their internal audit course andother auditing courses than UTA. UNT prerequisites include accounting, economics, informationsystems, business law, and mathematics. These prerequisites would give a student a broad45

Using this knowledge as a basis forlearning and class discussions, the students should be able to better understand more complexbusiness scenarios and cases than students taking fewer prerequisites, thus enhancing their overallknowledge base.46
