The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania is introducing a new curriculum that includes a focus on ethics and communications and will periodically offer tuition-free executive education, reports Bloomberg.
Wharton, ranked third among U.S. business schools by Bloomberg Businessweek magazine, follows the Yale School of Management, in New Haven, Connecticut, and the Stanford Graduate School of Business, near Palo Alto, California, in overhauling its curriculum. The new plan offers students more choice in what they study and a greater emphasis on global business education as well as statistics and microeconomics, according to the statement."Wharton's new curriculum design offers our students a framework for success in a rapidly changing world," Thomas Robertson, Wharton's dean, said in the statement. "Business schools must equip the next generation of leaders with the knowledge, skills and perspective they need to meet the global economic, environmental, humanitarian and policy challenges of the future."Original source: Bloomberg
