Abstract
In recent years, Master of Business Administration (MBA) programmes have come under assault, not politically but for its principles and values of the education process. The assault has focused on the value of corporate social responsibility and ethics as sustainable strategies in the creation and sustenance of business education. This assessment examines socially responsible and sustainable corporate actions within business education in the USA. Students are asked to propose an appropriate MBA curriculum inclusive of corporate social responsibility and sustainability that can guide the ethical leadership and management development of business learners. In doing so, students need to also evaluate incremental and change approaches to educational change. This assessment is suitable for use in graduate courses in corporate social responsibility.
