Course details Professional Responsibility and Leadership (PRL) is an interdisciplinary course that builds on prior coursework within the Social Impact Core Curriculum as well as other coursework at Stern and at NYU. The basic format of the course is a discussion seminar. These discussions draw on three different sources, including (i) the students’ own personal experiences and values, (ii) thoughtful insights drawn from a variety of academic disciplines (including philosophy, literature, history, and art, as well as the natural and social sciences), and (iii) relevant business cases. In each class session, students consider a set of thoughtful accounts identified by the instructor as starting points for discussion, and then they integrate experiences and business cases that have personal relevance for them. Rather than involving the one-way dispensation of content from faculty to student, the course unfolds as a process of students and faculty working together in response to open-ended, age-old questions.
