Abstract
One of the measures of the success of the educational process is its ability to prepare students for the challenges and opportunities of professional life. Educational institutions must consider and integrate the expectations of its professional as well as academic stakeholders when developing curricula. This paper presents a model that considers academic and professional dimensions in course design. The model incorporates levels of learning (Bloom's Taxonomy), the complexity of the learning environment, and the sophistication of professional skills development. The model can also be used to integrate the courses in the accounting curriculum along the three dimensions noted above.
