Abstract: This Project focuses on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) which is a modern approach to business that requires a company to take a more active and responsib le role in preserving and maintaining the interests of society. Since the curre nt business students will become the future managers and leaders, the academic c ommunity has realized the importance and necessity of including CSR-related topi cs in its programs and curricula. There are many attempts made by business schools worldwide to integrate CSR topi cs into their curricula. These attempts are faced with many challenges that are hampering their efforts for sustainability education and CSR integration. At the same time, business schools must benefit from success factors that will facilit ate CSR integration by creating a suitable environment and helping them to overc ome these challenges. Chapter I introduces the rationale and background of this Project, stating the r esearch objectives, methodology and significance. Chapter II tackles the issues of CSR and sustainable development, sustainability education and then dwells on the current practices applied by leading business schools worldwide. As for Ch apter III, it examines the various challenges facing CSR integration in busines s schools. Also, Chapter IV moves on to establish several success factors that will facilitate CSR integration. The Project also includes two chapters on primary research conducted through in- depth interviews and a questionnaire pertaining to CSR education in four differe nt business schools in Lebanon. As a result, the proposed research will investig ate the attempts of business schools in Lebanon to integrate CSR concepts into t heir curricula and will capitalize on feedback from both faculty members and stu dents to evaluate the knowledge, values, and attitudes related to CSR of busines s schools' faculty members and students.
