Initial purpose: to determine if listening skills are being taught in business schools

What we found:
Of the top fifty business schools listed by US News and World Report, only six mention listening as part of their courses in communication or leadership, and only the University of Notre Dame has a stand alone listening course (MBCM 60460 Listening and Responding).
