Finally, -what is it that draws so many men and women of the 80's to Notre Dame's College Of Busi ness Administration? Father David Tyson, Vice President for Student Affairs and associate professor of manage ment, believes the business school is an appropriate part of a "mul tidisciplinary" university, "espe cially in the context of a Catholic university." The success of Notre Dame's undergraduate business program is evident in its ranking within the top ten business pro grams in the country. Notre Dame's accounting program is ranked seventh nationally accord ing to Dean Reilly of the College , ' of Business Administration. Class , , sizes are sm'all in relation to other undergraduate programs across . the country, and the quality of , teaching is extremely high. "Our majors are not limited in their cl1.oices of courses. They can take fully half of their credit the 24 to 26 elective hours.
