GENERAL STATEMENT
MAJOR FIELDS
High School Preparation
Business Administration
A student intending to major in the School of Business and
Technology would do well to complete the following courses in
high school: English, four years; mathematics, four years; history
and social studies, three years; typing, one year; natural science,
two years.
The major curriculum in business administration consists of
a core of required courses: Accounting, Statistics, Quantitative
Business Methods, Finance, Production, Marketing, Business
Managerial Economics, Organization and Management Theory,
Transfer Students
A student transferring into the School of Business and Tech-
nology should do so prior to or during the sophomore year.
Experience indicates that the fulfillment of course requirements
within the normal four-year period becomes progressively more
difficult to accomplish with each term that is completed prior
to transfer. Most transfers that take place as late as the third
term of the sophomore year will almost unavoidably result in
an added term or terms of work.
Counseling
Each student in the School of Business and Technology is
assigned a faculty adviser immediately after registering in the
school. The adviser stands ready at all times to assist the stu-
Business Law, Human Relations in Business, Government Rela-
tions in Business, and Business Policy. In addition, the student
must complete, during his junior and/or senior years, 18 term
hours of upper division business or related courses, selected in
terms of his career objectives. These courses may be chosen
with a view to gaining a broad general training in business, or
may be selected from one of six areas of concentrated study:
accounting, finance, production, marketing, personnel management, and agricultural business management.
Students majoring in Business Administration at Oregon State
University combine any one of the major business curricula with
27 or more term hours in a minor selected from one or more of
the professional Schools of Agriculture, Engineering, Forestry,
and Home Economics or the School of Science.
The School of Business Administration at the University of
Oregon offers major work, both undergraduate and graduate, in
all fields of business where the interests of a student do not indicate that a scientific-technological emphasis is needed or desired.
dent in such matters as career requirements and opportunities,
course and curricular requirements, and academic counseling.
The student may exercise the prerogative of asking to be as-
signed to a different adviser if, after having become better acquainted with the staff, it seems preferable to make such a
change.
Business Education
The Department of Business Education offers a four-year
major curriculum designed to prepare high school business
teachers. The fact that students completing this curriculum are
Placement
The Placement Director of the School of Business and Technology operates through the office of the dean. His services are
available to all students seeking information concerning placement opportunities, interviews with visiting firms, and general
information concerning career objectives.
Double Degrees
Increasing numbers of students majoring in agriculture, engineering, forestry, home economics, and science have come to
the conclusion that preparation in business administration, in
addition to work in their original major field, will prove to be
of great value. As a result, a significant number have been com-
pleting requirements for degrees in more than one field.
The requirements which a student would need to fulfill in
order to qualify for two or more baccalaureate degrees are
listed in the General Catalog. Through a careful use of the
elective courses available to a student in the original major
field, the time necessary to fulfill the requirements for the second degree may be considerably reduced.
Graduate Degrees
The Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.) degree and
the Master of Arts or Master of Science degree in Business Education are offered. General regulations and requirements for all
advanced degrees are printed under GRADUATE SCHOOL.
prepared to enter both the teaching and the secretarial fields has
made this program of study increasingly attractive. Both fields
offer excellent opportunities to men and women.
For requirements for a State Teacher's Certificate, a list of
teaching norms, and further information in regard to both undergraduate and graduate work in this department see SCHOOL
OF EDUCATION.
Secretarial Science
Responsible secretarial and allied positions such as office
manager, administrative assistant, and research assistant are
going more and more to the college-trained person. Such positions require, in addition to the secretarial skills, background
training in business administration, English and business correspondence, economics, psychology, and liberal arts. Students
who come with previous training in typing and stenography
are permitted to register in advanced classes according to their
abilities. Many high school graduates begin with second-year
stenography. Special one- and two-year terminal programs are
arranged for those who do not plan to be graduated.
Degrees Offered
The Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) and Bachelor of Science (B.S.)
degrees are offered in all curricula, the Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.) in business administration, and the Mas-
ter of Arts (M.A.), Master of Science (M.S.), and Master of
Education (M.Ed.) in business education.
