By enrolling in the school of Business and Industry, a student learns business administration as well as the basic principles of an industry, such as engineering, agriculture, forestry, mines and fisheries, when minor-ing in one of these other fields. Thus he becomes equipped to enter a technical field of business with training in the administrative functions of the industry. (( The school of Business and Industry includes the departments of business administration, secretarial science and commercial education.
