Professors Teach Students How to Teach The primary goal of the Division of Education is to provide the training and experience needed to qualify students to begin full-time teaching in public or private schools. Courses are designed to help the student: 1) develop a sound philosophy of education that is consonant with cur- rent knowledge in the foundation areas of philosophy, sociology, psychology, and child development; 2) develop a comprehensive understanding of curriculum, the role of the teacher, and, methodology; 3) develop teaching skills through man y planned field experiences in schools. A second goal which is also of institutional importance is to provide in-service course work for teachers already in the field. This course work can be to complete fifth-year credential requirements, can be a part of specific in-serv- ice courses, can lead to an advanced credential, or can be part of an advanced degree program.

Business Department Prepares Students for Business World Business students at Azusa Pacific College are confronted with numer- ous opportunities fronn the day they enter classes as freshmen, through- out their undergraduate years, and extending beyond to work careers. This division offers a theoretical and applied preparation in two major areas: accounting and business administration. Both programs require four years of specialized courses and projects designed to assure professional readiness. The accounting program leads into work assignments in local C.P.A. firms in the junior and senior years: the combination of classroom theory and actual experience prepares can- didates for the Certified Professional Accountant Examination adminis- tered by the various State Boards of Accountancy in the United States. The business administration program offers studies in managerial theories and concepts. In the junior and sen- ior years, students are enrolled in an intern program with local businesses, which provides income and awards college credit. Rounding out the opportunities are student sponsored activities of the Accounting Club and first college chapter of the National Management Association. In addition, the division has for years aided seniors and gradu- ates in job placement through matching of job opportunities with interested students. Left to Right: Chairman Waiter A.

Communica tions Provide Skills Within the three disciplines compris- ing communication arts — modern languages, English, and communica- tion — the central concern is mastery of languages as a means which we define ourselves and relate to others. All three departments share the goal of effective employment of language skills for useful purposes. The Division of Communication Arts seeks to model in its faculty the qual- ities of communication skill we teach our students. Concern for the indi- vidual, programming that reflects personal goals and interest, and mas- tery of basic language skills and prin- ciples are valued and exhibited in our faculty. Many upper division classes are small enough to provide healthy interchange among students and fac- ulty in a cooperative education ven- ture, further enhancing the skill being promoted. v3 A4 j Mitties McDonald Dixie Pieslak June Hamlow Division of Communication Arts Secretary Fran Rinard Bob Walters can ' t decide whether he likes being the Professor or the student. 78 Communication Arts Academics
