Westerns Business School Ge By George Corbett * WCnewsmagazine Why should someone pick the College of Business at Western Carolina University? Well for Starters, it just received the nod yet again during its triennial review from the AACSB, one of the most premier accrediting organizations out there. The AACSB, or the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, is one of the toughest institutions from which to receive accreditation. And the business school here at Western has been able to consistently garner their approval since 1983, when it was initially accredited. About every three years since then, the AACSB has contacted Western with questions and concerns about a variety of topics, and Western has always been able to satisfy them that it offers both a high quality program, and one which is continuously striving to improve itself even more. About every ten years, the AACSB goes so far as to send an investigative team to Western to insure Is your Communications and Th By Lacey Martinez WCnewsmagazine Communication, Theatre, and Dance Students are working diligently towards degrees here at WCU with confidence that they will be prepared for the real world. The faculty members have accomplished notable successes in their respected fields, the department has state-of-the- art equipments and tools, and the campus has a brand new studio and stages, but will all of this give graduates the edge to compete outside of WCU? The sole purpose of an accrediting agency is to make sure standards are being taught and met at educational institutions. Accreditation is a process that most schools go through to assure that students are being prepared equally among institutions. When the school meets the accrediting agency's standards, they then receive accredited Status from the agency. Our university is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Westerns Entrepreneurshi By George Corbett * WCnewsmagazine What makes Western Carolina University a true leader in the world of business education? The answer is obviously our entrepreneurship programs. Not only do few universities even offer an entrepreneurship program, but most of those which do simply try to incorporate a few entrepreneurship classes into what is otherwise just another ho-hum MBA. At Western, not only do you get a program which was designed from the ground up to teach you ever facet of starting and running a successful business, but you get two different programs to choose from. lf you'd prefer a more practical, hands- on approach to learning about one of the most important areas of economic growth, you can do undergraduate work as a Major or Minor of Fo a ae ee ee ee ee ee eee Ge 2 not only that all of its records are accurate and up to date, but that the students and faculty are truly satisfied that Western is doing an excellent job of educating the business men and women of the future. While there are many other accrediting organizations out there, only a few of them go so far to ensure that their accreditation really and truly means something. : But what exactly does this mean for Westerns students? Among the benefits conferred by accreditation through the AACSB and SACS (the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, a division of the U.S. Department of Education), college credit earned at Western toward a variety of business majors will transfer more readily to any other school. Passing the strict standards of these two organizations will Virtually guarantee the quality of a program; the only concern for another institution then becomes which course Association of Colleges and Schools to award bachelors, masters, education specialist, and doctorate degrees. Aside from the school being accredited, there are several special program accreditations for the individual departments. Specialized or programmatic accrediting bodies conduct focused reviews of an_ educational program. To date, the communications department, which includes concentrations in Training and Development, Electronic Media, Human Communication, Print Media, and Public Relations, is not accredited individually. That does not mean that students and graduates are not getting their moneys worth. The Theatre Arts web page features several alumni profiles. Adam Love, class of 1999, says, My Studies at Western gave me the strong sense of confidence | needed to do theatrical work after Entrepreneurship. In this program, you'll gain all of the skills you need to not only start a business on your own, but to run and grow a business in the ever-changing economic climate, even if you leave someone else with the final Say. If you'd prefer a more cognitive, intellectual discussion of every entrepreneurial nuance and of the entrepreneurial institution itself, the graduate program for a Masters of Entrepreneurship is more likely your cup of tea. While you get every bit of the practical skills the undergraduate program offers, you also receive the theoretical knowledge behind the successful practices of growing ventures. With this in hand, you'll be poised not only to succeed in the business world, but to explain to your boss why you were able to so accurately predict what ts the Nod Yet Again numbers are equivalent. While transferring to another institution is not something Western wants to encourage its students to do, giving them the choice should life take an unexpected turn, and making it as easy as possible in such an event, is certainly an admirable achievement. . Furthermore, going to an _ accredited university, particularly one accredited by the AACSB, helps to ensure both that students receive the highest quality education, and that their future employers have no reason to doubt this. Think of accreditation the same way you think of those little UL-approved stickers that are on virtually anything you buy these days. Someone really took the time and energy to be sure that consumers were receiving a consistent, quality product. The only difference with accreditation is that Westerns product is a bright, knowledgeable future in the business world. eatre Department Accredited? school.

The Bachelor of Music (B.M.) degree through the music department is accredited by the National Association of Schools of Music. Jason Hatfield, class of 1996, says, In my experience, | am the actor | am today because of the department at Western. Hatfield is anActor and Guest Service Representative from Wilmington. Highly trained faculty and new equipments are bringing high regard to the department. The Musical Theatre degree is the only program in the department carrying the heavy-hitting power of the title of accreditation, but the future for the Communications, Theatre and Dance department is looking promising. , p Programs Lead the Way his business needed to do to keep growing. Whichever way you go, you can be sure your creativity and business intuition will be heightened and broadened by the courses you take. Not only will you learn how to think on your feet, you'll find out just how valuable all of that busy work so many businesses get bogged down with can be. You will also learn how to avoid getting bogged down with it yourself without missing out on those benefits. Probably the only downside to the entrepreneurship programs here at Western are that they're so new that you'll have to explain to your future boss what exactly youre qualified to do for him or her.
