Summary:
The purpose of this study was to examine the level of academic achievement in Intermediate Accounting Theory I and II of community/junior college students who completed Principles of Accounting I and II before matriculating at Florida Atlantic University and those who followed an alternate track and completed a substitute course at Florida Atlantic University after matriculation. The Scheffe method of multiple comparison was used to determine if significant differences exist at the .05 level. Sixteen hypotheses were tested comparing academic achievement in Principles of Accounting I and II or the substitute course with Intermediate Accounting I and II. Students were grouped as matriculating from Broward Community College, Miami-Dade Community College, Palm Beach Junior College, other Florida community/junior colleges, out-of-state community colleges or having completed the substitute course. These groups were then sub-grouped by grade level achievement in Principles of Accounting I and II. The F probabilities should be interpreted in light of the small N within some of the sub-groups. There is no significant difference between the grades received in Intermediate Accounting Theory I and II by students who completed Principles of Accounting I and II at a junior college and those who completed the substitute course at Florida Atlantic University. Significant differences do exist within some junior colleges when grouped by grade scale, but there seems to be no consistent pattern. The substitute course students had significant differences in Intermediate Accounting Theory I and II with substitute course.
