Abstract: Recent studies find that business school students would benefit from a further integration of traditional disciplines with the liberal arts. This paper outlines a suggested approach for accomplishing this in a finance capstone course, and reports the results from student assessments. The findings suggest that coursework aimed at developing critical thinking and communications ability can be designed in ways that complement standard business programmes.
