October, 1974 - CROSSROADS - Page 7 Distribution Management Major Is Unique With the current tightening of the job market, students are realistically evaluating their college education in terms of career op portunities. Belmont Abbey College is well suited to meet this need. A new program has been established in Distribution Man agement, the only un dergraduate program of its kind in the United States. Distribution Management is the professional field of business administration which includes the study of accounting, mathematics, tran sportation, business management, and materials handling. This is a very selective and demanding program and opportunities for graduates are unlimited at this time in distribution companies, large wholesalers and large retailers as well as large manufacturing plants of all kinds. Another career ...Abbey Hosts W F L Hornets “making sure the players are lookin’ pretty when they step out on the field.” Mike, Jr., feels the Abbey is quite adequate, even 'com pared with the Hornets’ former home at LaSalle Academy in New York, where the facilities were custom-designed for them. Father Bradley commented “I’m very happy the Abbey was able to associate itself with the new team. I believe it can have a number of advantages for the college.” John Thomas, the Abbey’s new vice president for development, public relations and alumni affairs, sees both im mediate and long-range benefits for B'.A.C. Thomas points out the college’s past difficulty in being considered a part of the Charlotte area. m This has prevented representatives of the Charlotte news media from including the Abbey on its regular tour of college events. It may also have made recruiting more difficult in the area. Thomas feels that the arrangement with the Hornets will help to “break down those psychological barriers,” as well as increasing the traffic of local residents into the campus. If the agreement is made permanent it will become a definite revenue source for the college, because of fees paid by the Charlotte team for pre-season and regular season use of facilities. Practice sessions at the Abbey are at 1:30 p.m. on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays. All sessions are opien to the public. oriented Belmont Abbey major is Medical Technology. Highlighting this program is the senior year of practical study conducted within an actual hospital. The B.S. degree in Medical Technology prepares the graduate for many health related jobs in hospitals, public and private clinics, and doctors’ and pathologists’ offices. Since the Bachelor of Science degree is awarded upon com pletion of the program, many graduates move right into administrative and teaching positions over medical technologists with only 2 or 3 year degrees. Belmont Abbey’s new Environmental Science program combines pertinent portions of the humanities and social, physical, and natural sciences into a coor dinated field of study. Resulting in a Bachelor of Science degree in either Biology or Chemistry, this course of study prepares the student for a career in private industry or governmental agencies. For students more interested in professional careers, Belmont Abbey provides excellent op portunities. The Ac counting department is consistently rated among the very highest in North Carolina, based on the percentage of graduating seniors passing the Certified Public Ac countants examination. Abbey graduates have an exceptionally high rate of acceptance into medical and dental colleges. A pre-law study group advises students on admission to law schools and assists them by means of a law catalogue library and programs aimed at improving performance on the Law School Admissions test. Major concentrations of study are available in Art, Biology, Chemistry, Economics, Economics and Business, Elementary Education, English, History, Natural Science, Political Science, Psychology, and Sociology, in addition to the ones already men tioned. ...Alumni News Fr.
