MBA programs are overhauling their curricula to reflect the needs of the modern student. According to a recent Forbes article, that student is "one who increasingly looks to do good while also doing well."
Current courses now include more hands-on, problem-solving components. (These are offered in addition to "the basics" of accounting, finance, etc.)
Here are the top 10 most innovative business school courses according to Forbes.com (see the article course descriptions):
1. Institute in Sustainable Value and Social Entrepreneurship, Weatherhead School of Management, Case Western Reserve University
2. Biotechnology Industry, Structure and Strategy, Rady School of Management, University of California, San Diego
3. Business on the Frontlines, Mendoza College of Business, University of Notre Dame
4. Energy Accounting and Regulation, Price College of Business, University of Oklahoma
5. Women at the Top, Foster School of Business, University of Washington
6. The Gig Economy and the New Entrepreneurial Imperative, Olin Graduate School of Business, Babson College
7. Product Innovation Lab, College of Management, North Carolina State University
8. Deutsche Bank Microfinance Class, Daniels College of Business, University of Denver
9. Innovation for Humanity, Carey Business School, Johns Hopkins University
10. Business, Government and the Global Economy, McDonough School of Business, Georgetown University
Now I wonder what MIT Sloan, Haas, and the rest of the top 10 would say to this ranking?
