company’s entry-level positions
are in engineering, accounting
and marketing. The company
produces bar axle wanning de
vices for shopping market
chains.
Tho company hires both peo
ple with bachelor's degrees and
those with master's degrees in
business administration, de
pending on tho position. Some
times it's preferablo to hire
someone with just a bachelor's
degreo because "the price tag
on an M.B.A. would be high
er." Hopwood said.
"We’re not a company
known with being obsossed
with hiring M B.A s, though wo
have been known to hire our
share of them," ho said. "Somo
positions need the exposure of
an M.B.A."
Julio Stokes, U.S Bank ad
ministrative assistant in human
resources, said the company
places most of their new em
ployees in management and
commercial loan training pro
grams. Experience in banking is
just as much on asset as an
M B A in business, she said.
“You don't need to have one
to get a job in the field of bank
ing," Stokes said. "But as in
any field, if you continue your
education, it can open morn
doors for you.”
Francoise Calin, romance
languages department director,
said graduate students in the
department typically want to
become college professors But
a bachelor's degree in a foreign
language can "definitely" give
students not planning on being
professors an edge in the job
market, she said
"My feeling is a B A. in a for
eign language helps them get a
job anywhere," Calln said. "For
teaching It is not enough. Our
B A s are not becoming teach
ers. They’re going into teaching
or going to graduate school or
they go to work at travel agen
cies.”
Students who want to be for
eign language teachers at the
high school level should get
muster's degrees, Calin said
Those who want to Ixr universi

Anderson, head of the mathe

many students get some techni
cal training and bachelor's de
grees In math, and then go on
to work In aerospace engineer
ing or electronics.
"With a bachelor's degree in
mathematics, a student is really
not prepared to go get a job as a
mathematician.'' Anderson
said. "Students with a master’s
degree are more directly em
ployable as mathematicians,
and if you're serious about
mathematics, you should get a
I'h D."
Anderson also said, however,
that students with bachelor's
degrees in math i an teach at

it doesn't serve you to have

But "there's no guarantee

About 50 years ago. it was

Grad students should

Gamut native Chrfelof -Romahn, 25, Mid be came to the
United State* to earn doctoral degree to gain tome interna
tional flavor.
Romahn. who I* etudytng phyalcs at the Unlveraity, Mid he
think* H‘a Important to "get out" *nd explore the world. He
I* doing thl* In pert by attending graduate cchool here.
“I came here to get to know another culture and to get an
other perspective," be Mid.
Not all atudents have the money to travel oversea* for grad
uate school as Romahn did However, meet people In aca
demia agree student* can pin a much broader perspective of
their field and of the world by attending a graduate school at
least In a different stale from where they earned their bache
lor** degree.
Universities often have different theoretical views on a dis
cipline so students can pin a more thorough knowledge of
the field if they attend two different schools, mid Larry
Smith. Career Pfenning and Service director.
Graduate achool ia for job preparation, not for enlighten
ment. at the first four years of college are. Smith told. Stu
dents should attend a graduate school because that school's
academic department can offer them the most, he said.
But there are exceptions to every rule, Smith said.
"If you know you’ll work on the West Coast but you want
to see the East Coast, go to school on the West Coast,” he
said. “It may be the only time you get out there."
Raquel Karls. 22. earned a bachelor’s degree In business at
the University and is now working toward a master's in In
dustrial relations at the school.
Karls said she decided to stay at tho University because tt
has one of the best industrial relations programs In the North
west.
"All of the signals said to stick with it," she said.
The recommendation that students attend a graduate
school different from tho school where they received a bache
lor's degree is "fairly universal,” said Frank Anderson, head
of the mathematics department. It’s recommended even If the
university where a student received a bachelor's degree Is a
cracker jack Institution." he said.
Pew students get all three dogreos — their tmcholor's, mas
ter's and doctoral degrees — at the University's School of
Music, said Gary Martin, School of Music associate dean and
director of tho graduate program. Students should experience
different schools
"It gives a professional breadth to the doctorate,’* Martin
said, "it shows the student has the ability to succeed at dif
ferent schools.
"They should attend the same school If It's a very good
school, but they’ll have a narrower breadth so you give up
one advantage for another,” he said "It’s a trade-off.”
Gita Joshua earned a bachelor’s degree in chemistry at
Women’s Christian College in Madras, India, and a master's
degree in French at Miami University at Oxford. Ohio.
Joshua decided to attend graduate school in the United
States because the French graduate programs at universities
in India focus solely on history and literature
“I wanted to do more than a bare surface, superficial study
of the language." she said.
