The professional aim prompted the establishment of the first schools
or colleges of commerce, and it is kept to the fore not only in

in commerce, but also in places which give specialized instruction in
particular fields. We shall consider curricula of the following types:
_Type I._ Curriculum designed to give the student training to meet a
definite professional requirement established by law.
_Type II._ Curriculum designed to make a student proficient in a
particular narrow field.

or business, vertical type.

business, horizontal type.
