The most important of which is to give the students a sense of their status as emerging business professionals. This is accom- plished through classes, seminars, and professional work expe- riences which prepare the student for a smotth transition into the business world. The college, headed by Dean Jack Engledow, offers three main fields of concentration. The Business Administration ma- jor is broad, general, and flexible enough to allow room to concentrate on areas of the business world that may have particular interest to the student. The other two majors. Accounting and Economics are more specialized. The college also offers an extensive graduate level program as well as a Masters of Business Administration. The biggest assest of the college is its interaction with the Indianapolis business community. Being in Indianapolis and having connections offers the students internships, practical work experience, and possible post graduate job opportunities. Many Indianapolis business men serve as part-time faculty, sharing their knowledge and experience with the students. Now the College of Business Administration is looking to- ward the future and the task force for the College of Business on the Commission of the Future of Butler University suggests that the college become better accreditted as well as gain more full-time faculty members which will eventually increase rela- tionships with the Indianapolis business community.

Since its affiliation with Butler University in 1945, the College of Pharmacy continues to be one of the strongest Colleges at Butler. To students it is known as many late night study sessions and still not knowing some answers to the test. It also means five years of dedication since that is how long it takes to earn the degree. After graduating, all students will agree that it was worth It. When they enter as freshman, all the prospective pharmacy majors are seated in one room. The instructor tells the students to look to their left and then to their right. Next they tell the students that those two people will not graduate with them in five years. The percentage of students that make it all the way through the program is approximately 40%. But these students know that it is worth it since the placement rate is 100% upon graduation. During their years many students work as pharmacy technitions and choose to remain with the hospital or drug store at which they began. Within the college are many interest groups for students to participate in such as Rho Chi, Phi Delta Chi, and SAPhA. Though many do not have time to get involved in extra-curricu- lar activities, a new organization was formed recognizing stu- dents involved in leadership roles outside of the classroom, Phi Lambda Sigma. Dean of the college. Dale Doerr is anxious for some programs that the Commission on the Future of Butler University recom- mended. One suggested that the number of faculty members be increased so that the student faculty ratio would change from 11:1 to 6: 1 allowing professors more time to pursue individual projects outside of the university. ;j5;s%s i5 jjrTv?iS v; ' V;S ' :.v»7 v.v« ' ••!,¥;;-; •«!)»»
