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.
