At Bentley University, we have a new 3 credit Law, Ethics and Social Responsibility course to be developed this summer for our MBA program. We are looking at revamping our evening MBA as well.

Thanks Virginia: The course is actually a graduate level Legal Environment of Business course but a different name. It brings in the legal responsibility of managers and ethics along the way as we hit the key legal subjects our colleagues have also indicated is covered in their courses.
You are correct on the AACSB requirements. As one who still does those accreditations, it is something site teams look for and is one of AACSB's Assurance of Learning Standards. See Standard 15. AACSB expects to see the legal environment of business covered in the curriculum. Take care.

Corporate responsibility can mean a lot of things: Corporate Social Responsibility; Responsible Corporate Governance; Corporate Governance, responsibilities of a corporation; responsibilities to a corporation. How are they conceptualizing this?

Jesse:
We are near completion of a revamp of our 4-Year old MBA program which is set to include a specific learning goal on Management Responsibility Legal & Ethics. This was missing previously and a real weakness in the curriculum. There is a proposed new course tentatively called Business Legal Environment and Corporate Responsibility. Given today's business environment, one would think an MBA not having such a course in in some form would be tantamount to a kind of educational malpractice. Hope this is helpful.

hi jessie and fellow alsb members,
osu currently has a four-hour quarter-long elective course on the legal
environment of business in the mba program, having removed the course from the
required core a few years ago... osu will move to semesters in 2011-2012
academic year, and at that time the course will be a half-credit/half-semester
elective course...

Gentlepersons:
I write regarding a question for which I urgently need a reply. The powers that
be here plan to remove ALL BLAW content from all of our masters programs. There
are two problems:
1) Some are of the mind that anyone can cover the law their students "need"
him- or herself.
2) The last few times one of us taught in those programs, students got lower
grades because we expect students to read books, and think and stuff. Anyway, I
need a quick and dirty idea how many MBA programs, of various sorts, include
BLAW content and of what sorts.
Thanks you in advance for your help and attention.
Jessie Roberson
