cal Science. Training in this area is offered leading to positions in city manager govern-
ment, and for state and federal civil service requirements. The major will be a con-
centration of public administration courses within the field of political science. A
minor or minors may be taken in economics (concentration in public finance), account-
ing, or other areas.
 Finance Sequence.-Advisor of the major field is the graduate advisor for the Col-
lege of Business Administration. Courses in this sequence include public finance courses
applicable toward a major. Accounting courses are also recommended. Training is de-
signed for those applying for positions in fiscal departments of state, county, and federal

dents in business administration, educational administration, and public administration
(political science).
 This sequence is designed to train only business managers in the public schools. Those

chasing, contracting, reporting of fiscal procedures and forms to the state educational
