AIMS AND STANDARDS

The School aims to give thorough training in the fundamental
principles underlying business. While this necessitates
a knowledge of facts and methods, it is not the primary
purpose to concentrate on those details of business
which should be quickly grasped by the man with a trained
mind after he enters his chosen field. The definite objective
is to train for leadership in business, rather than to
train the student merely to become a worker in a business
house. It is the aim also to foster the development of the
professional point of view. In keeping with the ideals of
other schools and departments of the University, the student
will be given every encouragement to achieve a high
position in business leadership and service.
