program was not a new major, but a "degree option" developed in an attempt to integrate
management knowledge and skills with the flexibility characteristic of the humanities and
social sciences.
This program had two design features: to promote social and ethical responsibilities, and
to encourage students to participate with faculty members in classroom collaboration. Besides
these, it provides students with an international perspective through an introduction to
international economics.
It offered several interdisciplinary courses specifically designed as Areté courses.
Students were expected to participate in seminars and discussions involving business
executives, social critics, government leaders, and artists, all leading to cultural understanding
from an international perspective.
Eleven students in the fall of 1990 and seven more in 1991, entered this program funded
by a three-year $175,000 grant from the US Department of Education's Fund for the
Improvement of Post-Secondary Education.
Wellness Course.
Offered as a mandatory part of the physical education requirement for
incoming freshman, a new course in Wellness covered such topics as nutrition, stress
management, substance abuse, sexuality, and physical conditioning. This course provided
students with important information on how they can lead a healthy life.
