The authors consider the systematic integration of service learning into a professional business school curriculum. Taking a developmental approach, students were involved in service-learning experiences throughout all 4 years of their education. Major barriers of faculty/organizational resistance, institutional infrastructure to support service-learning efforts, and pedagogical/curriculum design are addressed. The article focuses primarily on the pedagogical and curricular design and implementation of service-learning experiences that promote students' personal (moral) and professional (ethical) development.
The development and implementation of an award-winning freshman course, Management 101, Freshman Seminar: The Ecology of Business, presented the College of Business at Montana State University with many challenges and opportunities. Design of the course, development of course and institutional objectives, selection of readings and activities, and impact of the course on both student and faculty development are discussed.
