Look out Martha Stewart! Sure - business schools still stress economics (remember supply and demand?), finance and basic accounting, but it's a whole new world for enrollees in today's business programs.

Schools across the nation, including the Wharton School of Business, have added classes on personal work, life and time management to their prestigous curriculum.
