摘要：This paper describes the origin and history of the Ohio University MBA Without Boundaries (MBAWB) program. This program uses a problem-based pedagogy that has evolved over the past fifteen years at Ohio University. The program has no “courses” in the traditional sense but rather uses a series of eleven or more “problems” to frame the desired learning outcomes. The MBAWB is an on-line MBA program that requires nine residential experiences spaced over the two years of the program. The first and middle residencies are one week each, the final residency has been one week but will become two weeks with the next intake and the remaining six residencies each occur over a long weekend. The paper describes the evolution of problem-based pedagogy at Ohio University, including the development of a full-time, fully problem-based residential MBA in 1992, the original structure of the MBAWB program, comments from students and plans for the future. Changes in the program are viewed as a Continuous Improvement Process, much as AASCSB asks schools of Business to use with all their programs.
