Abstract
Like other accounting programs, the Accounting program at the University of Nebraska at Kearney has experienced declining enrollments. Faculty addressed this problem by creating the Accounting Program Partners.
The Program Partners campaign benefits the partners and the Accounting program. The firm pays $2,500 to be a partner. Benefits include access to students through Beta Alpha Psi, inclusion in visits students make to firms, etc. One half of the money raised is used for scholarships that target business students without an emphasis and campuswide undecided students.
Number of majors in our accounting program has increased 40% in two years.

Additional Comments
I think the work we have done to increase enrollments in our accounting program will be of broad interest given the shortages in the profession and declining enrollments across the country.
