1 Business Education at Catholic Universities

Abstract: This paper proposes a practical model for integrating Catholic Social Teaching (CST) and the Franciscan tradition into a management curriculum. Using Neumann College as an example it explores how the espoused values of the institution, as highlighted in our mission statement, can be supported. The paper outlines specific actions that Neumann College is taking to ensure that CST and the traditions inspired by St. Francis and St. Clare of Assisi are incorporated into classroom discussions regarding corporate social responsibility and ethical decision making in core management courses
