As market forces occupy a more central role in economies all over the world, important policy questions arise which focus not just on management efficiency, but increasingly on concepts of freedom, justice and rights. These are the issues of the new political economy. In order for business education to be truly international, students have to grapple with these issues, as well as the more traditional accounting, business, and economic questions. Learning By Doing For many years the business programs at Juniata have had a focus on learning by doing. We use the case study method in many courses, which requires extensive student participation.
Students often work on group projects and make presentations.
Students are encouraged to work with faculty to develop internships and fieldwork opportunities. Interns work on real problems at local firms. Additionally, students are encouraged to work with faculty to develop internships for pay during the summer months.
