Abstract: Recently, business, government, and educational leaders across America have sounded the alarm over what has been called the education crisis. In this essay I will suggest that we need to rethink the meaning of professional education, and in this rethinking effort, we should be aware of the crucial role that schools of business could play in reviving the professions and corporate America.
