Future looks better for liberal art grads By Ann Portal After years of enjoying boun tiful job opportunities and gen erous starting salaries, the tide seems to be ebbing tor business school graduates, particularly those with master’s degrees Corporations increasingly are turning to liberal arts graduates to fill entry-level management positions, according to Larry Smith, head of the University's Career Planning and Placement Center “Managers of the future need to be trained in the liberal arts,’’ Smith says The career planning office’s most recent statistics, compiled during the 1980-81 academic year, show that of the compa nies hiring students for sales, retail, accounting, finance and programming positions. 18 per cent of the companies request ed liberal arts graduates Ralph Keller, head of the placement bureau at Stanford University, says he has noticed an even bigger increase in the recruiting of liberal arts graduates by businesses Four years ago, 12 companies recruited liberal arts graduates at Stanford By last year, the number had increased to 116 “All over the country, liberal arts graduates are going to find it easier to find jobs,” he says The large starting salaries that graduates with a master's degree in business expect — and usually receive — may be contributing to the popularity of liberal arts graduates, Keller says. “I suspect that one of the biggest factors has been the fact that master’s of business administration salaries have kind of gotten out of hand,” he says A business can get two employees for the price of one, considering that starting sala ries for MBAs hover around $30,000, Keller says. Also, executives have told him that liberal arts graduates "don't want to run the company after the first year,” he says. But just because students have a liberal arts degree doesn't mean they shouldn't complete coursework in business areas. The liberal arts students most successful in business use their elective hours to take courses in com puter science, accounting, economics, mathematics and statistics, Keller says. He also points out that Stan ford's business school has no problems placing its graduates. Continued on Page 7B RESUME FREE PICK-UP AND DELIVERY!
