Popis:	Grade inflation has the potential to undermine the credibility of accounting education. The purpose of this study was to determine if the grade point average (GPA) in accounting courses has increased over time without a corresponding increase in student aptitude, signaling accounting grade inflation. A regression analysis compared average American College Testing (ACT) scores of seniors to the overall GPA of university courses, of business college courses, and of four senior level accounting courses. Results indicated that grade inflation did exist at the university and college level but was not pervasive within accounting courses.
