What people are saying about the GreenMBA

"The GreenMBA is a departure from Business-As-Usual. Where most business schools include the environment and CSR as electives or footnotes, they serve as our foundations. I feel honored and fortunate for the opportunity to participate in this transformative process--of myself and the business world.

Small cohort sizes are amazing--we each have a voice that is heard regularly and the instructors have the freedom to use the most creative and effective exercises with such an intimate group."
