James M Burns, dean of the Umvers1ty of San Diego School of Business, believes that business students today need to know much more than Is taught m traditional buslne school course ' Key business leaders aren t getting burned In areas like merchandising and finance,·• said Burns. 39, in an Interview. ··They're being hurt because they don't understand community actwn, environmentalists and social systems within the commumty " Whtie Burns ts Interested m ·a reality kmd of educa- tion for pract1oners," he ts "not inter Sled m traming tcrhntrtans who know busi- ness but nothmg else We need business leaders who thoroughly understand the envtronment they function m."

This philosophy IS reflect- ed In both the school's under- graduate and graduate pr~ grams. Undergraduate business majors must take only about 40 per cent of their courses in the business school and can use the rest of their courses to round out their education. Whtie most students in the master's degree program take only business courses, some of the offerings reach beyond traditional bounds. Burns is particularly pl ased with the graduate school's business policy course. which ties together the other areas of the curric- ulum and forces students to make business decisions in a "real world envtronment."
