This is a great note on Microfinance courses and syllabus in universities. I wish I knew about it before. I am going to teach a ME-Microfinance course at my University in Peru too (and in English). I think when you have just one course of microfinance, a historic balance is also important. Plus recent discussions and new theoretical and methodological references (Duflo-Banerjee, por example) might be important to be included as well.

Social performance management (SPM) has become pretty ubiquitous in the industry and I think that its omission in many of these syllabi does not give the next generation of microfinance professionals a complete view of the current state of practice.
