How to Identify MBA Programs That Emphasize Ethics; U.S. News & World Report, September 27, 2018

Ilana Kowarski, U.S. News & World Report; How to Identify MBA Programs That Emphasize Ethics

""Students need to ask if ethics is integrated into all classes," Scott MacDonald, the director of the MBA program at the University of Dayton's School of Business Administration, wrote in an email. "Does the curriculum integrate ethics into finance, marketing, operations etc. or does the program just offer a stand-alone ethics class? How ingrained is ethics in the DNA of the school?”
 
Leigh Hafrey, a senior lecturer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Sloan School of Management who teaches courses on professional ethics, says discussion-based ethics courses are particularly valuable. "I have attended many very good lectures on ethics, and that certainly qualifies as a legitimate method to convey ethics instruction, but I do think that the opportunity to participate in the conversation makes a huge difference," Hafrey says. "It gives the student ownership … and invites them to take an active stance on issues of major concern to all of us and the organizations in which we work.""
