- Title
A DEAN'S PERCEPTION OF INSURANCE EDUCATION.
- Authors
Black Jr., Kenneth
- Abstract
This article presents the views of a dean of a school of business administration regarding insurance education. Assuming the reasonable supply of students who justifiably are presently committed to insurance as an area of employment, there are a number of criteria by which an administrator or a dean can rationalize a basic decision to justify continuation of support. First, the insurance program is part of the overall business program and, in turn, is part of the overall university. One test that the Dean applies is, what contribution, in total, does the program make to the University's objectives and, in turn, to the School of Business Administration's objectives. Another criterion available to the Dean, which is subjective in nature but is measurable to some extent, is the quality of students who are attracted to the particular program. Another criterion by which a Dean can rationalize continued support of a program is productivity in terms of research and writing. The final, and from the dean's personal standpoint is one of the most important, criterion for evaluating the justification for an education program is the question of what happens when the student and faculty interact.
