The College of Business and Economics The swiftly changing world has had a noticeable impact on the College of Business and E- conomics within the past few years. Growth in the popular- ity of the College has been steady as students become more economically aware of today ' s society. This year, enrollment in the College has reached 2000 students. There has been an increase in the number of women enrolled in the College as compared with previous years. Dean Brucker noted that it has been a challenge to meet the increased demand of students who compete for the limited slots in the College of Business and Economics. Curriculum has adjusted to an ever enlarging and changing market. One of the most significant changes over the past few years has been the growth in management information systems. As a result of this growth, the management in- formation system decision support systems minor has be- come very popular among business students. The growth in computer technology has also spurred the use of com- puters in business and econo- mics courses. In addition to the standardized curriculum, a wealth of other academic programs are offered by the College. The Co-op Program allows busi- ness students an opportunity to work for various corpora- tions on a fulltime basis during a semester, giving them valu- able hands on experience in their field.
