A new master of business administration program has been added to the College of St. Scholastica lineup for fall, and officials hope it sets the college apart from the rest of the pack.

Based on feedback from focus groups in different parts of the state, the curriculum will include an emphasis on ethics and social responsibility, the international economy and personal coaching.

“The MBA is offered by a lot of institutions, and in some sense it’s a crowded field,” said Beth Domholdt, vice president of academic affairs at the college. “But it’s a field we can be competitive in by playing to our strengths.”

The school already has a master of arts in management degree program, and some students who have earned that degree have asked for an MBA program.

Students, senior executives and CEOs told the college it needs to not only teach about the global economy, but allow students to practice in it. The school is working to acquire relationships with businesses in China, Russia and the U.S. to work with students and instructors in the program, many of whom will travel overseas to do so.

“It doesn’t matter if you work for a dry cleaners in Duluth or whether you run a multinational down in the [Twin] Cities; we are in a global economy,” said Robert Sherman, dean of the School of Business and Technology at St. Scholastica.

The MBA program will include a capstone experience that allows students to take part in problem-solving with actual companies and deliver final reports to be critiqued by executives.

The ethics and social responsibility aspect already is threaded through undergraduate curriculum. A St. Scholastica Web site, csr.css.edu, is dedicated to corporate social responsibility, which includes businesses taking a larger role in solving problems by working with government and nonprofits, Sherman said. Most companies participate in some sort of philanthropy, and linking that with marketing programs is good for society and improves profitability, he said. Students will work with companies in Duluth and elsewhere to help them do this.

The final aspect — and what the college believes is rare among these types of programs — will pair students with personal coaches. During the first year of the program, students will be analyzed for strengths and weaknesses to learn their measure of motivation and work behavior. The coach, either a St. Scholastica graduate, faculty member or someone from the business community, will be paid and will hopefully foster a lifelong relationship with the student, Sherman said.

“It won’t be a casual relationship; we’ll have expectations of these coaches that will go beyond anything we’ve seen in any other MBA program,” he said.

The coach probably will be from an industry the student is interested in or is already in, and the second year will involve learning leadership styles. The coaching will help students understand themselves as managers and leaders in business, said Karen Gulliver, associate dean for the School of Business and Technology at the St. Paul campus.
