Southern's Regional Education Board's Electronic Campus

The Southern Regional Education Board's Electronic Campus was founded more than 50 years ago as a way for states to improve and share resources in higher education. The SREB continues to organize and administer regional arrangements to avoid costly duplication and expensive development of new programs. Another long-standing effort, the Academic Common Market, provides access to undergraduate and graduate programs in specialized areas. The Electronic Campus of the SREB provides a link to distance learning courses and programs offered by more than 300 colleges and universities. Southern is a member of the Southern Regional Education Board's Electronic Campus. Currently Southern's Managerial Accounting (AC 249) and Adolescent Literature (EN 219) are listed on the SREB's Electronic Campus.

AC 249 is a study of how accounting data can be interpreted and used by management in planning and controlling business activities of the firm. The uses of accounting data by investors, quantitative methods, and organizational behavior are also considered.

EN 219 emphasizes the reading and evaluation of literature written for and by young adults (middle, junior, and senior high school students). By analyzing reading resources, the reading interests, and developmental needs of adolescents and by classroom observations of reading/literature instruction, the student will develop the ability to help students to select literature for independent reading and guide them in analyzing group reading choices. Strategies to stimulate reading for information and for pleasure will include the reading of a wide variety of adolescent literature reflecting cultural, ethnic, social and sex role differences in a multi-cultural society.
