Curriculum reform: getting more macro, and more micro

Abstract

UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business pursued curriculum reform using a barbell approach. The macro end is pinned down with a leader archetype, that of an innovative, path-bending leader, plus a supporting and explicit culture now deeply embedded in admissions. The micro end is pinned down with a set of ten capabilities that are extended and integrated throughout the curriculum (e.g., problem framing). The connection to action is achieved through a new requirement in experiential learning that allows students to select among many options (e.g., a Cleantech-to-Market course). The school followed a particularly high-touch approach to gain the buy-in of its faculty.
