Business administration has long been a popular field of study. And most business majors find, no matter what you try, you ' ll always get Back to Business No matter what field a person chooses to make his life ' s pursuit, they almost all link back to the business world. And this is precisely what draws so many students to major in business administration, or other business-related disciplines. Students have various other reasons for se- lecting business as their college major. I decid- ed to be a business major becaue one day I ' ll have to run my family ' s business, said Allen Hardin, a junior. I hope to learn how to man- age a business well and make it grow and be prosperous. Freshman Kim Moses feels that there are more opportunities for business than anything else. The more I learn, the more enjoyable it is. I like to know what ' s going on — how it works, what goes in, and what comes out. Ed Martin, senior accounting major, receives helps from one of the tutors who keeps hours in the accounting lab of the Business Administration building. Although business-related majors are the most popular, many students claim that the Business Administration building is the crummiest on campus and in vital need of renovation. 12 Business Enrol li

Students Clay Mayeaux and Angela Cross catch up on homework before class starts. Tracy Fisher, a sophomore, says I enjoy all the different aspects I get to learn. It ' s not the same thing over and over again. I want to learn how to sell to people and about business ethics. Practicality and success are some reasons stu- dents choose the business world. In business, you learn a lot more about how our economic system works, commented Rachel Dupre, a freshman. This is practical if you are going to live successfully in the real world. I love NSU ' s program simply because all the major business principles are stressed, she said. In business, you can learn each separate part well and then put them together as a whole. Senior SuSu Williamson wants to go out in the business world and work in the marketing field. She says the most enjoyable part is learning about the business world and how it operates. By majoring in business, Paige Whitley, a freshman, hopes to learn how to manage mon- ey and be my own boss. There are many other phases and aspects to the business field, and most business students, like Damian Montelaro, a freshman, find that it is a lot of hard work. But it remains true that whatever you do, you ' ll always get back to business. While most students find business classes enjoyable, they also find that it is a lot of hard work.
