curriculum and the discussion of ethical issues among students, faculty and the
business community.

into the current curriculum and provide opportunities for discussion of ethical
issues among both students and faculty. Ethics is currently integrated into approximately
90% of CBA classes. The Program was ranked 43rd nationally by BusinessWeek's 2010
