As student wellness initiatives have become increasingly important over the past few years, designing management courses to include curriculum infusion (CI) is prudent, but reports of its effectiveness vary. CI’s effectiveness may improve when paired with evidenced-based pedagogical methods. For organizational behavior students, problem-based learning (PBL) seems most relevant. The current study uses a quasi-experimental method to examine the effectiveness of CI when combined with PBL (CI-PBL) to increase student understanding of wellness topics and awareness of campus health initiatives, while effectively teaching course concepts. The CI-PBL approach demonstrated effectiveness across most outcomes. The implications of these findings are discussed.
