Next year, on Jul 1 to be exact, Myers will add a position to his curriculum vitae when he becomes the eighth dean of Miami's Farmer School of Business and its second Mitchell P.

That view contrasts with the approach of some undergraduate programs that tout their ability to produce students specializing in one or two areas -- say, sustainability or IT.
