But the demand for such courses will grow based on market needs. Duparcq does not agree with those who say the Internet hasn't proven itself yet as a major tool of choice for business and communication in the next century. And that's promising news for on-line marketers and advertisers. Another indicator of a robust forecast for electronic commerce is the use of the Internet for advertising.

A strong and varied job market is getting some of the credit for the increasing number of students signing up for classes in Purdue University's School of Agriculture. Ten years ago there were 1,655 undergraduates in the School of Agriculture, while 1997 enrollment figures show 2,539 students. And that number is up 63 from just a year ago. Goecker says the job market for agribusiness positions, technical fields, natural resources and environmental management is particularly strong. Companies in these areas are seeking employees with a strong agricultural and science education, and they are increasingly looking at Purdue.
