Wharton: 125 Years of Staying Fresh

As we delve deeper into the new millennium and further into all things “new”, it’s important to take time and reflect on the accomplishments and discoveries of those that have laid the foundation for our own progress. I can only imagine what it must feel like to be a part of an institution that is the cornerstone of such a foundation, and at the same time, a key figure in its movement towards originality and innovation. And although Wharton could simply coast through another 125 years, riding the accolades of its own achievements, this top business school continues to further expand on its core principal of advancing business education through freshness.

Happy 125^th Wharton!

Business Ethics - Not an Oxymoron

Business schools are working hard to instill a sense of ethics into their students, especially in the wake of recent corporate scandals. Many programs have some kind of business ethics class as a requirement for MBA students, though they admit that teaching ethics is the easy part; it's much more difficult to ensure that students will actually practice these values once they venture into the business world. Still, schools are taking this requirement very seriously. The University of Chicago even has their "Guide to Business Ethics" course taught by a Nobel laureate (Robert Fogel).

Let's hope all their efforts can ward off any Enron repeats.
