In recent years, students have combined accounting with economics, economics with mathematics, management with foreign languages, music with management, accounting with management information systems, and management with psychology. Recognizing the need for a combination of academic skills in some career fields, the faculty has established certificate programs involving joint study in two or more departments. This coursework includes Principles of Economics, Statistics, Financial Accounting, Management Accounting, an appropriate mathematics course, and Concepts and Issues in Computing. After meeting these core requirements, each student chooses advanced courses from among the four major areas. Computers and Facilities Students at Luther have an excellent opportunity to develop computer skills in conjunction with their academic work.
Students have access to the college's computer facilities located in buildings around campus.
SGI UNIX Stations Access to the computers is available 16 or more hours per day. Computer use is free for all students. This building, dedicated at Homecoming 1995, greatly expands the facilities available to students in these departments. A key ingredient of Luther's business program is the internship. Students gain valuable experience in a wide variety of professions through internship opportunities.
