Description
MARLBORO COLLEGE GRADUATE CENTER, BRATTLEBORO, VERMONT, USA
Master of Business Administration in Managing for Sustainability
The Marlboro MBA in Managing for Sustainability, currently in its launch
phase, will bring the model pioneered by several West Coast MBA programs
to Vermont and the Northeast for the first time. This model integrates
the essential elements of traditional MBAs with process and content
attuned to social and environmental responsibility, the notion of triple
or multiple bottom-line performance measurement, a global perspective on
commerce and economic justice, and the overall notion of sustainability.
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.
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 intensives per
year with Internet-based distance education.
