of coursework outside the College of Business Administration. Nine
hours of economics and six hours of business statistics may be counted
as non-business courses for this requirement.

The Division of Business and Economic Research (DBER) facilitates

findings in a variety of business fields. The DBER is a member in the
Association for University Business and Economic Research, an organization
that includes 100 research institutes internationally. By providing
a wide range of resources and services to enhance the ability for
faculty to conduct quality research, the DBER reinforces the efforts of
the College of Business Administration to recruit and retain outstanding

for the New Orleans Area. These results are widely used by the New
Orleans business community.
The DBER is an authority for economic and demographic information,
analysis, and forecasts on the New Orleans area. The DBER
staff serves on various community-based boards and committees with
special focus on local and state economic and demographic conditions.
Together with faculty from the School of Hotel, Restaurant and

which is a Center of Excellence. The Hospitality Research Center has
produced a number of tourism and hospitality research studies for
local, state and out-of-state clients.
