Business schools scramble to adjust curricula after the Wall Street collapse

Frank Linnehan, associate dean for graduate and undergraduate programs at Drexel University’s LeBow College of Business, said he aspects to see a shift away from finance-related majors, with more students focusing on the accounting skills that will be required to clean up the vast mess. “There are definitely options” for students he said. “The accounting people are going to be in demand. It’s now about how to evaluate value [of assets]. In the short term, there is going to be tremendous demand for people who can do that.”
