BUSINESS SCHOOL TO HAVE SPECIAL WAR CURRICULUM

In view of the present national need for trained specialists in various phases of war work, the scheme of instruction in the Graduate School of Business Administration has been considerably modified, it was announced yesterday by the Committee on Courses. The new policy will involve the omission of many general courses for the duration of the war, and a rearrangement of schedule which will allow students to include in one year's program all the specialized courses in certain fields.

Although it will still be possible for men to enroll for the regular two-year course, those expecting to take part in war-time industrial work, or army accounting, may concentrate all their work in one year. Persons taking such concentrated courses, however, will not be deemed candidates for a degree, unless, of course, they return to the school for further study and include general, courses in their ultimate program.

Non-College Men to be Accepted.

Though the school is primarily for college graduates it has always accepted, without candidacy for a degree, non-college men of qualified preparation if they have had at least three consecutive years of business experience and have been over 21 years of age. It offers under the present temporary arrangement for men above the age at which the Government is calling to military service, opportunity for training for civilian positions in which men may be more directly useful than otherwise in helping to produce the material means by which in part the war will be won.

According to the new schedule the usual general courses in accounting, marketing and factory management will be retained in a more or less modified form, while special one-year courses in accounting, factory management and statistics will be offered for men who plan to enter some form of war service.
