A one-year curriculum development project on the integration of the humanities and business.

The Seton Hall University College of Arts and Sciences and Stillman School of Business are committed to breaking down the false divides between the humanities and business through a collaborative Business Humanities Initiative which will integrate philosophical, spiritual, historical, literary and business perspectives into the curriculum. The project will: identify interdisciplinary working groups; design a faculty development and certification program; investigate curriculum exemplars; conduct student surveys/focus groups to gauge interest; create a plan to integrate humanities into the existing business curriculum, including the development of experientially oriented case studies; outline curriculum, learning outcomes and an assessment plan for a proposed undergraduate Certificate in Business Humanities; and create a syllabus, course description, learning outcomes, experiential component and assessment process for a new business humanities capstone course for the Certificate.
