14 Brief Description of Proposed Curriculum Changes 1. Remove the current offerings of BUS 101, MIS 201, ECN 201/202, BUS/ECN 205, ACC 210/211, BUS 240, BUS 250, BUS 301, FIN 310, BUS 350 and BUS 495, from the requirements for majors in Accounting, Finance, Management and Marketing and replace them with the content described below. (Note that the curriculum changes we are proposing do not increase in total credits required for our majors and would actually reduce total credits for over 80% of our students. Note also that there are no changes to the Economics major in this proposal). 2. Introduce a common core for Accounting, Finance, Management and Marketing majors. (See the spreadsheet Old_vs_New Curriculum_ Introduce 3 new 9 credit courses, (the rational is in the document Curriculum Revision Rationale_ a. BUS 101 Business, Accounting, Economics (9 credits) b. BUS 202 Quantitative Analysis of Business (9 credits) c. BUS 304 Comprehensive Analysis of Business (9 credits) 4. Move the content from the current 3 credit version of BUS 101 to BUS 100, syllabus attached. This will allow us to offer a 3 credit Intro to Business course for non-majors and nursing students who are require BUS 101 as part of their curriculum. 5. Introduce ACC 250 Intro to Financial and Managerial Accounting (3 credits) required for Accounting majors and Finance majors. Accounting and Finance majors completing BUS 101 will not take ACC 210 (3 credits) and ACC 211 (3 credits). ACC 250 serves as a bridge between the 3 credits of Accounting in BUS 101 and upper level Accounting courses. 6. Introduce a minor in Business. Currently the Business School does not offer a general business minor. The minor would consist of 18 credits earned by completing BUS 101 and BUS Remove FIN 310 Managerial Finance and FIN 420 Financial Institutions from the requirements for the Accounting major and replace them with ACC 250, and an elective chosen from MIS 320 Advanced Business Decision Tools and FIN 411 International Finance. This change removes redundant content and provides an option for exposure to an international course. 8. Remove FIN 310 Managerial Finance and ACC 430/431 Tax/Advanced Tax Accounting from the upper level requirements for the Finance major and add ACC 250, MIS 320 and 2 elective courses chosen from FIN 420 Financial Institutions, FIN 356 Real Estate, FIN 357 Risk and Insurance and ACC 430 Tax Accounting. This change removes redundancy and adds content that is more relevant to our graduates. IACBE Annual Report:

15 Marian University The Clark H. Byrum School of Business Rationale for Core Curriculum Revision 2/8/12 Background: A key trend in business education is the growing dissatisfaction in the business community with the skills and abilities of graduates from business programs. Most employers rate communication, problem solving, teamwork, and leadership as very important skills/traits for college graduates, yet find that most are seriously deficient in these areas. This complaint is supported by Arum and Roksa s recent study (Academically Adrift) that shows minimal improvements in business students critical thinking, problem solving and writing skills during college. Business schools have and continue to be criticized for not providing students with a relevant experience that develops the skills needed to deal with the challenges of a competitive, global, and dynamic world. The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching recently (2011) published a study (Rethinking Undergraduate Business Education: Liberal Learning for the Profession) that calls for significant changes to business curricula and radical transformation of the learning process. The research team suggests that the disintegrated nature of business students learning experiences result in little understanding of the complexity, ambiguity and interdependence of the challenges they will encounter. To develop fully reflective business professionals vs. simply technicians, they recommend greater integration of business curricula and increased focus on developing practical reasoning. Further, the research team recommends that business programs adopt an active engagement pedagogy that provides students the opportunity to practice making professional judgments in complex and morally ambiguous circumstances. As a result of the mounting evidence that change in the way we prepare students for business is necessary, we have adopted a value added strategy in the Clark Byrum School of Business. The goal of this strategy is to better prepare students for the business world by focusing on the development of professional judgment instead of technical expertise. We are orienting our program toward developing the skills that students need and employers value rather than merely teaching facts, formulas and techniques. To accomplish this we are moving away from the textbook-lecture-exam approach to teaching and are adopting an integrative, collaborative and experiential learning model. The goal is to require all of our students to interact with real business people, problems, and projects throughout our program. We want to provide our students with multiple opportunities for purposeful practice to gain experience and develop the relevant skills necessary for success. Value Proposition: Based on our adoption of this value added strategy we developed a value proposition that expresses our goal of better preparing students for business as summarized below: At the Clark Byrum School of Business we connect values, leadership and action so that students can: - Experience the global, competitive and dynamic nature of business - Engage with business people, projects, and opportunities - Encounter the ethical dilemmas they will face in the business world - Enhance their understanding of how decisions affect all stakeholders IACBE Annual Report:

16 - Formulate career plans and establish professional networks - Develop the skills and attributes that employers require - Become innovative, ethical leaders who can make a difference What we mean by connecting values, leadership and action is that through an active learning approach, students will face difficult decisions that challenge their own, as well as the Franciscan values taught at Marian. Requiring students to deal with challenging and sometimes messy business issues will develop the key combination of skills and understanding of business necessary for leadership roles. Core Curriculum Review: To implement our new value proposition, we formed a Curriculum Development Team (CDT) to review our current core business curriculum. The CDT determined that all of our business students, regardless of major, should experience a common core curriculum. The team also identified the following learning outcomes for our core business courses that are focused on enhancing the following skills/abilities: - Problem solving ability - Communication skills (written and oral) - Ability to work in a team - Analytical ability - Interpersonal skills - Ethical leadership - An integrative understanding of business Our current core curriculum, which is with minor variations identical to all the other programs we examined (e.g. IU, Butler, Ball State, U of Indianapolis, Manchester), is a set of independent, discipline specific courses. These courses are heavily content driven and focus on teaching students the terminology, tools and techniques from each of the functional areas. The curriculum includes a capstone course (Business Policy and Strategy) which is intended to integrate the material from the other courses. The CDT concluded that our current core business curriculum does not adequately achieve the learning outcomes we identified and explored alternative models for structuring our curriculum. The Integrative, Collaborative and Experiential Learning Model: Based on the research evidence and feedback from the business community, the CDT developed a new model for our business core that focuses on integration and developing students skills through an experiential learning approach. This new learning model reorganizes the curriculum around a series of increasingly more complex Significant Business Experiences (SBE). Each SBE is explicitly integrative and requires students to deal with relevant business problems/opportunities and interact with the business community. The SBE s are tightly linked with discipline specific Content Modules (CM) that focus on technical knowledge, tools and concepts. Each SBE is connected with two CM s to form a nine credit hour block that is delivered by a team of three faculty members. Students will be required to complete an SBE-CM block during each of their first three years in the program. These SBE-CM blocks will be offered in both the fall and spring semesters. Students will also be required to complete an elective SBE during their third or fourth year in the program (see list of electives IACBE Annual Report:

17 below). Finally, all business students will be required to complete stand alone courses in Career Planning and Ethics as well as an internship experience. The following is a summary of our new core business curriculum. Significant Business Experience Content Module Content Module Credit Hrs Year 1 Business Plan Project (BUS 101) Accounting Economics 9 Year 2 Quantitative Analysis Project Statistics/MIS Marketing 9 Year 3 Global Business Strategy Project Finance/MIS Bus. Law 9 Year 3/4 Elective Experience Stand-Alone Courses: Career Planning (BUS 290) 3 Internship (BUS 360/365 3 Business Ethics (BUS 401) Although we plan to increase the number of elective experiences available to students in the future, the current electives are: A-Team Experience (BUS 325) Advertising Competition (BUS 445) Additional Internship (BUS 360/365) Summary: The current core business curriculum for our Accounting, Finance, Management and Marketing majors is credit hours with the majority of students completing 17 courses (51 credit hours). Our new core curriculum at credit hours obviously reduces the number of business hours for most of our students. This will allow many of our students to take additional general elective courses and/or pursue a minor or concentration. Since the Economics major (BA degree) currently requires a much shorter business core, we have excluded it from this proposed change. The proposed business core curriculum is supported by the entire business school faculty as well as the school s Board of Visitors (19 members). We all believe that these revisions address the criticisms that the current approach to business education is not properly preparing students. The goal of this new learning model is to help students develop an integrative understanding of how business works as well as the key skills required for success. We accomplish this by focusing our curriculum on developing students abilities to think critically, communicate, solve problems and collaborate. By having students deal with complex and ambiguous problems we emphasize the development of professional judgment and responsibility. Our intent is to provide students with a transformational experience that allows them to become innovative, ethical leaders who can make a difference in the world. IACBE Annual Report:
