Business 8 Economics: Communicating and Reasoning The Department of Business and Economics gives students the chance to exercise their communicating and reasoning skills in business classes. Department head, Dr. Bernard Davis, said that the department is beneficial to students through its programs. We have a variety of high quality programs that lead directly to a career path with a bachelor's degree, he said. In other words, we provide a fast start for students who are interested in a more immediate entry into a career. There are three programs in the business and economics department. They are information sciences, the program of marketing and management, and the program of accounting, economics, and finance. There are coordinators for each of these programs: Dr. Sue Luckey, information sciences; Peggy Osborne, marketing and management; and Everett Campbell, account- ingTeconomicsT finance. According to Dr. Sue Luckey, coordinator of information sciences, her program area offers internships and experience in office administration. These students may work in medical offices, legal offices, or as general secretaries. The Department of Business and Economics is making incoming students more aware of them by hosting a program for the high school F.B.L.A. students in March. The Future Business Leaders of America come to the campus for contests during which the department tells them what they have to offer. The department requires only two math courses which are applicable in every discipline. The department feels that understanding economy is important to everyone, not just business and economics majors. By ADA MIRACLE and COLLEEN PRITCHARD Business and Economics 4'W' .1 u. 'M d ..

New Reqirements a Positive Aspec The Department of Education is one of six areas in the School of Professional Studies. On the undergraduate level, the depart- ment offers programs in learning and behavior disorders, special education with teaching and non-teaching emphases, mentally handicapped training, and elementary education. Secondary education is also offered through course work and certification. Education majors must take the National Teachers Examination. Beginning in the fall of 85, several new requirements were in- troduced in the program. The most notable of these changes was the requirement of a one-year internship for all education majors. Students usually do their course work during the first three years. The students' last semester is spent as a student teacher in the elementary or secondary schools in the area. After graduation, students in the education program begin their one-year internship. This includes supervised practice and evaluation by a principal, resource teacher, and a college educator. Dr. McGhee, chairman of the education department, said that recruitment on campus of students in the education field is in- creasing as more and more teachers are needed due to a larger number of children entering schools. HThere is currently a large demand for special education Mike Metcalf is a sophomore in the education program for elementary schools.
