142 I BUSINESS
MANAGEMENT SEMINARS
Each year, a local business firm brings its top management to the school for a series of
seminar type meetings with students. The contact between students and executives allows
students to develop a fuller perspective of the managerial function. Arrangements are
managed by the Inter Business Council, composed of representatives of professional business
student organizations. The Beta Gamma Sigma Colloquium brings to the campus well-known
top management men for discussions with selected senior and graduate students.
MANAGEMENT BLOCK PROGRAMS
-Management Block Programs, a unique feature of the School of Business, are planned to
bridge the gap between the classroom and the outside world. There are two programs:
Management 101, Basic Management Block and Management 102 A-B-C-D, Advanced
Management Block. Each course meets 12 hours per week for 12 units of credit. Students
engage in a variety of group projects and are graded on their performance rather than on
tests or examinations. Information is gathered from local businesses which the students
analyze in research projects and classroom presentations. More than 45 business and
community leaders are invited as guest speakers each semester.
Either or both of the Block Programs may be substituted for the standard requirements.
The basic Management Block substitutes for four basic courses required in all business
majors. Students majoring in other fields may use credits to partially meet requirements for
a minor in Business Administration. Advanced Management Block credits can be substituted
for elective and required course credits in most of the business options: See course
descriptions or consult the Assistant Dean, School of Business, for details.
OTHER SPECIAL FEATURES
A growing number of internships in local firms and agencies are available. Units are
granted the business interns and some also carry stipends.
The School of Business works with the Internal Revenue Service in bringing the VITA
(Volunteer Income Tax Assistance) program to the Fresno community. Students are trained
to assist low-income citizens with their tax returns. Students receive credit from the school
for this voluntary service. The school also works with the Small Business Administration to
improve the managerial performance of new or existing minority-owned enterprises.
Opportunity is afforded students through classes and student organizations to become
acquainted with business and industrial organizations in California and the San Joaquin
Valley. Effort is made to adapt the program to meet the particular needs ofthe San Joaquin
Valley. Business and industrial concerns in Fresno and vicinity cooperate to make possible
practical application of the theory studied in the classroom through field trips and guest
lecturers in classes. The school sponsors professional organizations for both men and women.
Convocations are held annually, bringing to the campus a well-known leader to discuss some
scholarly aspect of business. This blending of the practical and theoretical is designed to
insure vitality of instruction and breadth of vision.
HIGH SCHOOL PREPARATION
High school preparation for business majors should include the typical college preparatory
courses in social sciences, natural sciences, English, and mathematics through intermediate
algebra.
COMMUNITY COLLEGE PREPARATION
It is recommended that students taking their first two years of study at a community
college complete, if possible, general education requirements, including the appropriate
courses in behavioral sciences, speech, English composition, mathematics, and a year of
principles of economics. The following business courses are also recommended: principles
of accounting, one semester of automation and data processing, one semester each of
business law and business statistics. Other transfer business courses taken in community
colleges are accepted as elective credit. Transfer students should see the School of Business
evaluator prior to registering for business classes.
