Curriculum Sustainability: The Case of U.S Business School Deans

David Shelby Harrison, C. Michael Ritchie and Patrick Stiebinger

This study reports on the practices, plans, and viewpoints held by a segment of U.S. business school deans on business sustainability in the curriculum. We had a 37% response to our 2014 online survey. Our findings indicated continued support in academia for the growing global interest in business sustainability. We also present responses on the challenges and opportunities for sustainability business programs. As business schools move toward greater adoption of sustainability topics (now required by AACSB and EQUIS standards) we believe our study may provide constructive information for business programs working to further integrate sustainability within their curriculum.
