Before Sociology class Tyler Pitman asks Dr. Steve Williams a question about the text. Your Business Is My Busisness Competing in the business world can be tough. The Busi- ness department at Montreat was dedicated to preparing students to be successful businessmen with Christian perspectives in their dealings with other people. Business Administration was one of the first three Bachelor of Arts degrees of- fered. This program was de- signed to train students to work in non-profit Christian service organizations as well as public corporations. Courses were offered such as Accounting, Economics, Typ- ing, Marketing, Taxation, Fi- nance and Management. Teachers in this department were: Mrs. Betty Ferrel, Mr. Hicks Anderson, and Mr. John Power. Business stu- dents had their own personal tutor, Mrs. Mindy Robinson. Dan Randall, who is plan- ning to major in Business Ad- ministration, said that the greatest advantage of Busi- ness classes at Montreat was the personal attention and teacher student ratio. Anoth- er student said that it's easy to get lost in big classes, but here, with such small class- rooms, teachers can help out whenever there is a problem. Junior Mindy Clinard said that she enjoys working un- der pressure and meeting deadlines. She sees the Busi- ness world as a great opportu- nity to serve others.
