Net Impact Releases 2008 Business as UNusual: The Net Impact Student Guide to Graduate Business Programs

San Francisco, CA - October 29, 2008 - Net Impact, an international nonprofit organization with over 10,000 students and professional members dedicated to improving the world through business, released its third annual edition of Business as UNusual: The Net Impact Student Guide to Graduate Business Programs.

This guide is the first to document the student perspective on how graduate programs incorporate social and environmental themes into the curriculum, extra-curricular activities and career services. In addition to the individual school profiles, the guide provides school rankings in 13 categories including the overall preparation of students in ethical and socially responsible leadership, career resources that incorporate values and business skills, and the administrative support for Net Impact-related themes.

"The 2008 Business as UNusual is our largest edition to date, containing detailed profiles on over 60 programs, as well as student rankings of their programs along 13 unique categories," explained Liz Maw, Executive Director of Net Impact. "We are proud to produce such a comprehensive guide which has helped thousands of readers find their ideal graduate school program."

Business as UNusual was created in 2006 in response to inquiries from students applying to business school with a strong interest in social and environmental themes. Developed with this goal in mind, the guide compares data on different graduate schools and their incorporation of these themes into their programs.

The information in the guide was compiled from a qualitative survey completed by 64 Net Impact student chapter leaders and an online survey completed by over 1,500 Net Impact student members. The guide also highlights school stand-outs and overall trends.

The guide can be downloaded for free at:
