PBL News Archives

Spring 2004

· PBL is now offering Business Labs for students taking certain business classes. We realize that some students cannot make it to the labs the business department holds because they are during the day and many of you have class or work during those times. The PBL labs will generally be held on Tuesday and Thursday nights from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. However, you should navigate to the "Documents" page on this site and open the labs document to be sure of what nights the labs will be held. The labs are for students taking the following classes: Principles of Accounting I & II, Business Finance, Business Statistics, and Quantitative Methods of Business.

· State Competition is coming up. Please sign up if you are interested, because we definitely want people to represent SWOSU. More information can be found on the "Home" page on this site.
