education

To succeed in the new millennium, organizational leaders must understand the impact of management practices on the environment, the workforce, local cultures and profits. At Marlboro College Graduate Center, this multiple-bottom-line philosophy is integrated into all our MBA courses, from accounting and finance to business law and economic theory.

The Centre for Sustainable Community Development at Simon Fraser University in Canada offers an undergraduate certificate and post-baccalaureate diploma (also available through distance education), graduate study, and a non-credit professional program designed for those already working in the field. Education is also delivered through publications, events, workshops, our website, and through project-specific programs.

Beyond Grey Pinstripes is a biennial survey and ranking of business schools. Their mission is to spotlight innovative full-time MBA programs that are integrating issues of social and environmental stewardship into curricula and research.

MBA in Sustainable Business Print

Today, most MBA students get little exposure to social and environmental issues in their graduate curriculum and consequently tend to view them as peripheral to business success. BGI’s unique program preserves the academic rigor of a traditional MBA program, while infusing sustainability throughout every course. The program’s focus on entrepreneurship for sustainability prepares students to start their own sustainable enterprises or to be effective change agents within existing organizations.
