Rethinking Undergraduate Business Education: Liberal Learning for the Profession

Please join us for a one hour discussion online with panelists:
  • Anne Colby, Consulting Professor at Stanford University, former Senior Scholar, Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching
  • William M. Sullivan, Senior Scholar at the Center of Inquiry in the Liberal Arts, Wabash College, former Senior Scholar, Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching

Business is the most popular undergraduate major in U.S. higher education. The panelists argue that business education can be strengthened by supporting key elements of liberal learning integrated with business disciplines. They believe that this integration will help students acquire tools for advancing their business careers and also help students understand the place of business in larger institutional contexts, think creatively, and develop wise, ethically grounded professional judgment.

During the broadcast, the presenters will:

  • Articulate their conception of liberal learning
  • Explain why liberal learning is essential for a comprehensive business education
  • Provide examples of effective curricula that integrate liberal and business learning
  • Outline recommendations that will help business students move beyond technical expertise to deeper and more creative understanding of their chosen field, the broader world in which it operates, and the significance of these for their own life choices and directions

This webinar draws from a new Carnegie/Jossey-Bass book, Rethinking Undergraduate Business Education: Liberal Learning for the Profession, by Colby, Sullivan, Thomas Ehrlich and Jonathan R. Dolle with a foreword by Lee S. Shulman.

Space is limited, so REGISTER NOW!
