What is a
Green MBA?

A green MBA (also known as sustainable MBA) program is offered by a few colleges in the USA.

The curriculum offered blends in environmental and social aspects on top of the legacy topics one usually find in a standard MBA curriculum. With the increasing awareness to environmental issues, business entities voluntarily and in some instances to comply with regulations are looking not only to bottom line profit. A corporate is looking more and more now to contribute to the community and to keep its environment clean and healthy. Therefore, the demand for sustainable MBA graduates is increasing

The MBA program is tailored to address the following with an eye on business considerations:
