Group Project
The Group Project is the capstone project for the week; thus students are assigned to Project Groups prior to check-in. Each group will act as Accounting/Finance Consultants and decide what type of business they are in (e.g., public accounting firm, consulting, firm, corporation, small business, governmental agency, academia, or non-profit) and what services they provide (e.g., audit, tax, advisory, internal audit, bookkeeping, accounting education, financial services, forensics, etc.). See documents below for ACAP 2019; ACAP 2020 documents will be subsituted at a later date.

Methods of Instruction
During this week-long residency camp, students will experience various instructional methodologies: facilitated classroom discussion, group work, self-directed learning, collaborative learning (sharing experiences, listening to peer students, working together to find answers), etc. Attempts are made to appeal to a variety of learning styles: visual, auditory, and tactical. In addition, students are expected to use their computer lab time wisely.
