Street Journal: B-School Mixes Faith and Finance:
Catholic University's New Program Will Infuse Courses With Instruction in Virtues:
Confident that aspiring corporate leaders want to worship more than just
the almighty dollar, Catholic University of America is creating a new
business school. The Washington, D.C., university will announce the launch of its new
School of Business and Economics on Tuesday, infusing an education in
strategy, accounting and marketing with instruction in morals, character
and religious values. …Catholic currently enrolls 421 undergraduates and 36 graduate students
in its existing business program—just a fraction of the size of similar
institutions, such as Georgetown University or University of Notre Dame,
whose business schools also mix faith with finance. … It is hard to measure whether any business school, secular or religious,
successfully instills a moral compass in its students. While
institutions can count the CEOs or millionaires in their alumni ranks,
there are few metrics for determining graduates' ethical acumen.
