courses broad enough to enable graduates to enter a variety of business
careers and to progress to executive levels.

achievement of self-knowledge, sound and critical thinking, effective
communication of ideas, and cultivate abilities to distinguish among values to
adapt to and function within the environment.
To provide a supportive educational environment which
sustains Berkeley's desire to maximize potential for achievement by affording
constant accessibility to academic, personal, and career counseling.
To offer and constantly reevaluate comprehensive
curricula and co-curricular activities so that meaningful and relevant
learning experiences result and graduates are stimulated to a continuing
pattern of personal growth and improvement.
To make available a program of extracurricular
activities to give varied, meaningful leisure-time experiences and to help
students develop emotionally, physically, and socially by participation in
student government, campus activities, and community service.

other institutions in order to maximize transferability of credits.
