American businesses are restructuring, downsizing, and merging. Technology is transforming the workplace. New markets and new sources of skilled employees are sought overseas. Opportunities for young Americans lie increasingly in technical, professional, and managerial positions requiring advanced analytical and problem-solving capabilities.
Our students must be superbly trained, professionally competent, and flexible enough to adapt to changing organizations. They must be good collaborators, strong communicators, and technologically adept. And they must possess high-level social and cultural understanding.
To enable our students to meet todays challenges, we must develop professional curricula that are excellent in themselves and also build bridges to the arts and sciences. Students need to know their practical fields very well, and they must also understand why their conceptual, moral, and social development is preparation as much for work as life. |
