The Business Department over the years has supplied both local businesses and the business community at large with graduates who are well qualified to take their place in the work-a-day world. A survey of recent graduates indicates placements in all types of business activity locally and in the greater Philadelphia area. The office of the Business department functions throughout the year as a placement bureau for students still in school, for those graduating, and for those who have already graduated and are looking for a new job. A cooperative work experience program is availvable to those students who wish to work while still in school. Early dismissal and help in job placement is part of this program which is open to qualified seniors who have their parents' permission. Placement includes positions in medical offices, law firms, insurance companies, construction companies, real estate offices, banks, and local retail merchants' stores and offices. Graduates who have gone on to business schools and college training have successfully entered several fields. The opportunity to achieve success in today's business world is open to any student willing to invest his time and effort in the program. 27
