MARLBORO COLLEGE GRADUATE SCHOOL, BRATTLEBORO, VERMONT, USA Master of Business Administration in Managing for Sustainability The Marlboro MBA combines the core competencies of a traditional MBA program with process and content attuned to social and environmental responsibility, triple or multiple bottom-line performance measurement, a global perspective on commerce and economic justice, and the overall notion of sustainability. There are three particular groups of people for whom the Marlboro MBA is specifically designed:

• Those who are convinced our society must follow a more sustainable path, and seek knowledge, skills, perspectives, and a network to help them point their business careers in that direction.
• People who want to immerse themselves in the socially responsible business movement by working at one of the leaders - many of which are located in or near Vermont - or perhaps starting the next trend-setter themselves.
• People who are interested in becoming a corporate social responsibility (CSR) professional for a corporation, auditing firm, consulting firm, or NGO, working to change the system from within

At 60 credits, this full-scale, accredited MBA can be completed in two years, and does not require students to live near the campus. Its hybrid limited-residency format combines attendance of ten 3-day intensive weekends per year and online coursework. The Marlboro MBA in Managing for Sustainability brings the model pioneered by several West Coast MBA programs to Vermont and the Northeast for the first time. Key features include an emphasis on accounting and finance, systems thinking courses, exploration of the policy and business implications of climate change, priority for clear written and verbal communication, mentoring in personal leadership development, and international study.
