Student-Centered Learning: Moving Towards Mass-Customization in Higher Education

Abstract

The capstone course for an MBA in Economic Crime and Fraud Management offered at Utica College was redesigned from a traditional structure (where the Instructor unilaterally decides all elements of the course) to a structure that is guided by a principle that attempts to utilize the con-cept of mass-customization. Analysis of key indicators, as measured by the graduate students enrolled in this graduate class, suggests that the redesign achieved improvement in key indica-tors.
