The Sellinger School takes students way beyond core business principles and problem solving.  We are committed to developing ethical, reflective, competent leaders who are ready to meet challenges in a changing and diverse world. Our curriculum focuses on five integrated areas of study that, in concert, prepare the individual for successful leadership in any organization, from Fortune 500 to entrepreneurial ventures to non-profit.                         

The first area, Leadership and Teamwork, prepares students to assume positions of leadership in their organizations and communities. Students learn to anticipate the challenges and appreciate the value of a culturally diverse workplace.  We emphasize respect for individual differences as we explore strategies for effective collaboration.

Second is Social Responsibility and Ethics, which challenges students to meet the demand for corporate responsibility and ethical behavior.  We look at case studies involving ethical dilemmas and give students a framework for choosing and defending appropriate courses of action.

The third area, Management’s Use of Information and Technology, gives students a comprehensive understanding of information technology as a strategic tool in the Internet Age. Course work is taught from a management point of view, and includes systems concepts and value, knowledge and data management, e-business and distributed processing.  We also examine the impact of information systems on the organization, on global business, and in legal and ethical contexts.

Fourth is Creation of Value in Global Markets, which analyzes the social, political, legal, economic and technological forces that affect the global marketplace. Students learn to reach business decisions that create maximum value and foster innovation within organizations.

Finally, Learning Through Reflection is perhaps where our Jesuit tradition is most evident.  We help students embrace the concept of reflection as a learning style and apply it to achieving greater understanding of themselves, their families, their professional and personal experiences and their evolving worldview.
