The Business Education students found themselves in a new home this fall when “D” building was opened to classes for the first time on October 2, 1967. The new building provided space for a new and better library and ample class- room space for the business education students. The training in the Business Administration Curriculum is designed to prepare the student in every phase of administrative work that might be encountered in the average business. The graduate of the Business Administration Curriculum may enter a variety of career opportunities from beginning sales persons or office clerk to manager trainee. The Data Processing courses are arranged in sequence according to instruc- tional requirements of the student, with a balance between technical courses, general education courses, and laboratory work. The subject material and general application parallel throughout the course. Opportunities for employment for data processing graduates lie in the fields of banking, civil service, industry, re- search, and business. The newly formed Hotel-Motel Food Service Administration Curriculum is the only one of its kind in North Carolina. The students enrolled in this program will encounter all aspects of the travel industry. The entire right wing of “D” building is made into 14 model motel rooms and will be maintained and cared for by these students. They will be taught the actual preparation of food service here on campus thus gaining experience. Occupational opportunities in this field will be found with large or small hotel and motel operations. The types of posi- tions will vary from office procedure to food management. The Executive Secretarial Course is designed to produce efficient and quali- fied persons to fill the increasing number of positions available in our ever ex- panding business world. The purpose of this course is to outline a program that will provide training in the accepted procedures required by their future em- ployers. The graduates of this program will have a knowledge of business termin- ology, skill in dictation, and the ability to accurately transcribe letters and re- ports. Upon completion, a student of the Executive Secretarial Course may en- ter a secretarial position in a variety of offices such as insurance companies, banks, marketing institutions, and financial firms. iOUCATION
