Willamette MBA Among Top 100 Business Programs for Social and Environmental Stewardship

The Aspen Institute’s prestigious Beyond Grey Pinstripes survey recognized the Willamette University MBA as one of its top 100 business programs worldwide. The survey “spotlights innovative full-time MBA programs leading the way in the integration of issues concerning social and environmental stewardship into the curriculum.”

In addition to being 58 th overall, the Willamette MBA earned high marks in two additional categories:

 #18 for Student Opportunity (Based on a count of the number of courses that contain social, environmental, and/or ethical content)

# 26 for Student Exposure (Based on the percentage of course time that exposes students to social, environmental, and/or ethical issues within their courses)

“This is an important distinction for Willamette,” said Interim Dean Debra Ringold. “We are preparing our graduates to be effective managers and good stewards to the communities in which they live and work.”
