Measurement Of Quality Attributes In Accounting Education Programs: Perceptions Of Certified Public Accountants

Abstract

Higher education institutions must address quality issues relating to diverse user needs. Students, their families, employers, governing boards and society in general are all interested in maintaining and improving the quality of higher education. Specific attributes of quality in higher education are difficult to define, and may vary according to the needs of user groups.  This study examines quality attributes of educational programs from the perspective of one particular user group: certified public accountants (CPAs).
