| Faculty All Business Education faculty contribute their expertise to training and in-service education for many educational, service, professional, and business organizations. Professional development seminars have been offered to service regional needs for informal education opportunities. All Business Education majors and Training and Development minors are assigned to an advisor. During pre-registration, faculty advisors meet with students in a group advising session. In addition, advisors meet with students for individual advising. Furthermore, faculty have at least 10 office hours a week when students can meet with them on a one-to-one basis.
