  8. Why revise the curriculum? • SMG Educational Mission • We prepare innovative and ethical leaders who understand the impact of business on society and create value for the world. • Implement SMG Strategy in Curriculum • Provide deep knowledge of disciplines, new opportunities to engage sectors, relevant global experience, and frameworks of ethical behavior and social responsibility

  9. Why revise the curriculum? • Address Benchmarking Gaps • SMG Rankings compared with aspirant schools: • 31stBusinessWeek: Gap at least two times worse than average top 10 schools in student and recruiter survey rank and almost four times worse in academic quality rank • Students need • to be better prepared for internships • flexibility to go deeper and/or broader and start earlier • Need more analysis/quantitative skills and excel modeling • Little or no ethics training • Weak IS course

  10. Curriculum Revision Process • 2011-2012: Task Force Proposal; Faculty Vote; Design Work • 2012-2013: Targeted Experimentation. Degree requirements remain the same. • 2013-2014: Full Rollout. Begin advising students on new curriculum.

  12. Proposed Change: Freshman Course • “Managing in a global economy” ** • 4 courses, each two credits • Emphasis on: • Disciplinary knowledge; integrative thinking • Managers as actors in organizational and societal contexts • Dynamics of managing, e.g. risk, ethics (making hard choices), seeing issues globally • Sectors as forces transforming society

  13. Proposed Change: Freshman Course • Key Advantages • Strong link with SMG Strategy • Flexibility • Adjusts for changing world and changing students • Addresses task force charge: build on strengths of SM 121 – 122 while embracing future through engaging new insights, ideas and practices • Challenges/Issues to Monitor • Staffing - 4 (versus 2) courses • Moving away from content driven through lecture

  14. Proposed Change: Flexible Core • 2nd Semester of Sophomore or Junior Year • Restructured CORE curriculum • IS out of CORE • Analytics in CORE • Enable projects involving services & online products

  15. Proposed Change: Flexible Core • Key Advantages • Greater flexibility • Opportunity to take concentration courses earlier and more meaningful internships after 2nd & 3rd year • Enhances student analytic capabilities & excel aptitudes • Challenges/Issues to Monitor • Breaks up class – may result in unexpected dynamics • Postponing liberal arts classes runs counter to liberal arts educational component
