    Sam you are right! I have a BS in business and went back for a BFA. I
    also did graduate work in business and have been asked if I would
    consider teaching a business related class for the art students,
    most of which are metal, glass, fiber, wood and painting. I went to
    them and said that I would do it and it is a great need they said
    that they are doing a reaccreditation and can't fit a business class
    in the curriculum and still meet NASAD and the requirements for
    graduation. Seems like a cop out because what do those graduates end
    up doing? Going another 3 years for a MFA?.and what for? If they had
    basic business training then they could at least know where to start.
    It is just a mess.
