Business Technology (BSE) Course

Credit Hours: 146
Overview

BUSINESS TECHNOLOGY PROGRAM: In conjunction with the College of Education, the CIT department offers the Bachelor of Science in Education concentration in Business Technology. This is a program of study designed to prepare teachers of business subjects for the secondary schools. Business subjects taught in the secondary school are generally intended to provide high school graduates with entry level job skills, as well as the economic competencies those graduates will need. Emphasis is given, through this department and the College of Education, to the methods by which this information can be effectively imparted. For satisfactory completion of this program, a student must fulfill all requirements as established by the university, the College of Business, the College of Education, and this department. Vocational certification is available and the CIT department is also approved by the State of Arkansas for teacher training.

Communication Studies Course

Credit Hours: 124
Overview

The Department of Communication Studies offers work leading to a Bachelor of Arts in communication studies or to a Bachelor of Science in Education in speech communication and theatre (offered jointly with the Department of Theatre). The department emphasizes oral communication as an essential process in society, as a means of personal expression and development, and as a major means in which students adjust to their society. The department provides courses that stress the theoretical and functional aspects of oral communication.

The department offers practical experience through a nationally ranked forensics and debate program, a student community outreach program, and a college forensics tournament. Through judicious selection of electives, both within the department and outside, majors may prepare themselves for a wide range of careers. Students pursue programs to (1) provide the foundation for graduate work, with college teaching and research as an ultimate goal; (2) prepare for careers in community, educational, government, medical and industrial communication;
(3) provide foundations for post-graduate study in law or theology; and (4) provide a traditional education in the liberal arts.
