Business schools and private education providers are shifting emphasis from narrow technical training to transversal, interdisciplinary curricula and mentorship models. Opinion leaders argue AI and automation make human connection, cross‑disciplinary fluency and leadership development the differentiators of modern MBAs. Authors from multiple business schools outlined the need for curricula that combine finance, ethics, environmental science and humanities to prepare leaders for complex decisions. At the same time, startups are translating peer mentorship into scalable services: HiFive Tutoring, founded by Wharton alumni, has grown into a platform connecting K‑12 and college students with near‑peer mentors including MBA students and alumni. The twin trends — curriculum integration and mentorship networks — suggest schools may need to reconfigure industry partnerships, assessment frameworks and alumni engagement to deliver measurable student outcomes.
