Mason has a 1.5 credit legal environment course in its MBA program.  We are transitioning from a 3 credit legal environmnet course in the EMBA program to a 1.5 credit course.  No ethics requirement per se in the MBA program or the EMBA progam.  Lots of talk and no action; colleagues also don't want to let our low faculty grow so are doing nothing about ethics.
