MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS AT BUCKNELL

A complex world characterized by globalization, rapid technological change, and increasing environmental, social, economic, political, and financial pressures requires a novel approach to management education.  Learning only traditional business skills parsed into standard functional silos is no longer enough for tomorrow's leaders. <st1:placename w:st="on">Bucknell</st1:placename> <st1:placetype w:st="on">University</st1:placetype>'s <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placetype w:st="on">School</st1:placetype> of <st1:placename w:st="on">Management</st1:placename></st1:place> intends to cultivate in its graduates enhanced maturity, enlightened perspective, creativity, and judgment.  In this effort we have formulated a novel curriculum that builds on our decades long tradition of teaching management as a liberal art.  This new curriculum is projected to commence with the incoming class of fall 2011.  Taking advantage of Bucknell's comprehensive scope and intimate scale, the approximately 500 students in the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placetype w:st="on">School</st1:placetype> of <st1:placename w:st="on">Management</st1:placename></st1:place> will have the opportunity to choose from among four highly interdisciplinary programs that are integrated with the University's premier offerings in the humanities, arts, sciences and engineering. The programs include Managing for Sustainability; Global Management; Markets, Consumers and Designing Innovation; and Accounting and Financial Management.  (For brief descriptions of the planned curriculum and each program, go to http://www.bucknell.edu/x43368.xml .)
