Show THE THUNDERBIRD PAGE 10 SUSC MONDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1989 Business department calls for better student preparation enrolled. However, he does advise underclassmen to complete their general education courses before applying for these classes. During spring quarter, business instructors with advanced business classes will be given a list of the students who have fulfilled the requirements. Those students who have not filled these requirements will be asked to drop the class, said Hillyard. If students dont have the background for these classes they could fail, said Harold Hiskey, dean of business, technology and communication. We love our students and were trying not to hurt anyone with this new policy. The objective of the advanced standing program is to provide students who have completed 72 or more hours KAREN LISH BY Beginning winter quarter SUSC students majoring in business must complete the requirements before entering into the advanced standing (upper division) business courses. Currently, freshman and sophomore students are enrolled in advanced standing courses while still completing their general education requirements. This creates problems for the juniors and seniors who wish to take these courses but are unable to due to overcrowding said Roger Hillyard, head of the business pre-busine- ss pre-busine- department. Hillyard said students will not be removed from the advanced standing business courses this fall if already ss with sufficient specialized business training. This program prepares the student to successfully enter the business world in a chosen field of interest. It provides an education that develops the attitude, analytical ability, and social conscience required for future professional advancement. Besides completing a minimum of 72 quarter hours, students must meet other requirements as well. They must obtain a minimum of 85 credit hours by the end of the quarter for which the application to advanced standing is filed. They need to have achieved a cumulative grade point average of 2.3 or better. This includes transfer credits from other colleges. Students are advised to file a request for advanced standing with the department of business as soon as they have met the minimum requirements. Field trips may branch into study abroad program SU will extend field western Hawaiian territory next year geology SC-sponsor- ed BY beyond the trips In the past, summer groups toured the wonders of the west in Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and all the state and national parks in Utah. We have a good time with these folks, he said. Summer 1991 will prove to be a climactic year as a Hawaiin tour is in the works to see the Aloha states volcanoes and massive mountain building. First Hand is the ultimate field experience. When we talk of volcanoes and mountain building, we need to go where we can see them taking place now, said Kennedy. He feels the experience of participating in these tours is good for the faculty as well as students. Instructors bring back experience and insight into cultures, regions, and society. As we become more concerned of problems, there is no better way to bring the problem home and consider the effects, Kennedy said. Right now the program is still in the planning stages. JODI REINARD The Division of Continuing Education and several SUSC faculty and staff are beginning a study travel program for college students and the general public. The new program offers students and the general public a chance to tour and explore National Parks in Utah and the surrounding region while gaining three college credits. This is an outgrowth of summer field said Richard R. Kennedy, physical science department head. While touring, participants are bombarded with knowledge of Natural History, including geology, plant life, and area history. The idea here is to reach out and emcompass in our educational experiences history and culture. This is one way to do it, said Kennedy. trips, ". beginning We have the germ of the idea. We are feeling our way cautiously and feel the results to be beneficial, he said. Kennedy hopes the program will continue to expand and ultimately lead to a student exchange where we exchange students as well as faculty members. It will add another dimension to the education experience we want to make available to people and students of this region. The next tours offered will begin in June with a Utah parks excursion. Other trips planned for the summer include rafting the Colorado River and touring the Yellowstone area. The cost for each excursion varies and is paid solely by the participant. People wishing to sign up for any of these excursions are to contact SUSCs Division of Continuing Education. up-comi- SIPMIE ANV (MHISME liv region to UNNECESSARY fcD flilll Show them youll no longer tolerate their bull with a Barking RhinoT-Shi- rt White 5050 CottonPoly Blend Premium Weight Original Silk Screen Designs Featuring Hot Neon Colors 30 Day Money Back Guarantee Great Night Shirts $1 7.95 2 x-- 6x White 5050 blend (Smaller sizes are available) Orem, UT 84058 or call BIG TEEZ In Utah County 3 for Visa or Mastercard orders) (Call 774 S. 850 E.
