Graduate Management News
Dick Durand, dean of Lehigh's College of Business and Economics, was interviewed for a story on business schools that have changed their programs and curricula in hopes of better serving a specific slice of the management education pie. Today, the growing competition in management education, accentuated by the success of for-profit universities and other new players in the MBA field, has made it even more important for a business school to find its niche. This may be particularly true for smaller regional schools, like Lehigh, the article says. We are in a pretty competitive market overall,” says Durand. “We have Wharton, Temple, Rutgers, Columbia, NYU, and Pitt all near us.” Rather than attempt to compete “head-to-head” with these larger, better-funded players, Lehigh decided five years ago to focus on providing 'niche-type programs.' These include graduate certificate programs in project management and supply-chain management. By focusing on timely business topics and using distance-learning technology and flexible course schedules to attract busy working adults, these new programs have enabled Lehigh to compete more effectively, he says.
