We are in discussions about requiring a capstone portfolio before a student graduates with a BA in Business and Communications. Professional Conferences and Representation Faculty in the Department attend and present at professional conferences on a regular basis. They also serve as officers in professional organizations. In the past ten years, at least one faculty person from the Department served as a representative on the State Standards for Business Certification Review Committee or on the State Standards for Industrial Technology Education Review Committee. Faculty Development Faculty of the Business and Technology Department attend a variety of training sessions to keep themselves up to date in their field.
Faculty members engage in a variety of editorial and publication projects.
The internship provides the Department with feedback from both the students and their employers on the value of the types of training provided by the degree. The Microsoft Teacher Training Grant that is coordinated by a Business and Technology Department faculty person helps by keeping software updated and providing teaching resources. The campus has an upgrade replacement schedule for all computer labs.
