The Sustainable MBA Guide to Business Schools
 

The Sustainable MBA, Aspen CBE's guide to MBA programs, is available for sale on our web site.  It features detailed information on over 150 leading MBA programs worldwide that incorporate environmental and social stew-ardship into their curricula. With this guide, prospective students can compare and contrast MBA programs that deal with social and environmental issues based upon required and elective courses, career resources, faculty research, concentrations, joint degree programs, student clubs and activities, and on-campus institutes and centers.  For practitioners and academics in the field, we also recommend The Sustainable MBA as the most up-to-date guide on what leading institutions are focusing on within the field of business and society.
