How Does the GBC Roundtable Define Curriculum?
The GBC Roundtable defines curriculum as the overall content (theories, ideas, concepts, skills, knowledge, etc.) taught and delivered within the formal courses and other required learning experiences, the structure of those courses, and their sequence as well as co-curricular activites/opportunities of your graduate degree program(s). Learning experiences to deliver this curriculum content can include but are not limited to lectures, cases, textbooks and other readings, guest speakers, videos, simulations, assignments, assessments, experiential and group projects, as well as co-curricular activities, programs, and learning experiences that complement, in some way, what students are learning in their degree program. The GBC Roundtable supports curriculum innovation across all graduate business degree programs and delivery modalities.
“MBA Roundtable is much more than just a great resource for current thinking on the MBA - it is also a great resource for the latest thinking in specialized masters programs and portfolio approaches to graduate management education.”
Brian Cameron, Associate Dean for Professional Graduate Programs, Penn State Smeal College of Business
