Changes to give competitive edge to business grad school
By CARES’ COCKS
Hed a*4 Black < oatfikatwi Hrttrr
Officials at the University's College of
Business Administration claim recent
changes in their college's curriculum will
enable the business school to compete with
the best graduate schools in the nation
The new graduate program began fall
quarter of 1984
"Right now, the business school is
primarily a regional school, but hopefully as
the program develops, our graduate
program will become nationally
recognized," said Ann Scott, graduate
studies program coordinator
"The students will concentrate on func
tional core classes the first year in the
program and then develop the specialized
managerial skills needed for the demanding
and competitive positions the second year,”
Because of the strict requirements for
admission (3.2 GPA and 585 on the Graduate
Management Admissions Test), only about
140 students are currently enrolled in the
MBA program, as opposed to 350 to 400 just a
few years ago
“As a result of the smaller classes, there is
much more individualized attention given,
and the students can be worked with in
dividually on their resumes and placement
for internships," MBA Placement Director
Claire Hamilton said
She said the business school developed an
MBA placement program a few months ago
to build a stronger relationship between the
business world and the University students
Nationally ranked business schools, such as
Emory and North Carolina have specialized
MBA placement advisers, and the
University recently developed this type of
position
"The MBA placement program is much
more individualized and personal than the
Career Planning and Placement facilities at
Clark-Howell Hall,” Hamilton said
“Eventually we will move entirely out of
Clark-Howell and operate independently
from the business school
“Right now we are working to establish
strong relationships with major companies
and tailor our students to fit the companies
needs "
A lecture schedule has been developed.
and representatives from various companies
speak to the graduate students each week to
increase communication between the
students and the business world
Scott said so far, the program has gone
smoothly and the students working on in
tershtps have been well-received by-the
businesses in this area “We'll have a much
better idea of our success level once our
graduates enter the job market in the spring
of 1986. she said

same as our five day
people.’ ’Woods said
He said limited service
employees are restricted to
working less than 20 hours a
week and 1 .UU0 hours a year
“We’ve been real suc
cessful using the L'GA work
force because students are
real quick to grasp on to the
scheme of things. Woods
said
He said the employ ees are
paid $6 79 per hour after a 30-
