Business Education Business education prepares students in the skills of the business world. The Business Education Depart- ment, offering fifteen different courses, is one of the largest in the northern suburbs. One of the most unusual of the courses is the work-study program, which involves ten students who attend class in the morning, work in the afternoon at supervised jobs, and earn credits for a diploma. In secretarial and clerical courses, an electronic laboratory enables each student to dial in a recorded tape of varying speeds for dictation practice. Students who partici- pate in a business course learn valuable skills which help them in the many-faceted world of business.
