    ONLINE SUSTAINABLE MBA

    At GMC we do business a little differently. Our distance learning program weaves sustainability through the entire MBA curriculum. The program emphasizes the development of skills, knowledge, and management techniques that are critical for leaders in business, nonprofits, and governmental organizations.

    Green Mountain College offers the premier, 100% Online Sustainable MBA. “Green” isn’t just a word we throw around: we practice what we teach. Green Mountain College has been teaching sustainability for nearly 20 years, and we have been recognized many times for our sustainability leadership. The College has landed on the Princeton Review’s Green Honor Roll in each of the last five years (ranking second in the nation in 2015) and received the #1 rating in the 2018 Sierra magazine’s annual “Cool Schools” issue.  In 2018 we were also again recognized as the #1 sustainability curriculum and college by the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE).

    We’re not newcomers to the online learning; our online Sustainable MBA program was introduced in 2006, the first 100% online Sustainable MBA in the nation. Our faculty members have expertise as business people and as online instructors, providing a rich, meaningful learning experience for students.

    Our Sustainable MBA program is designed to teach students how to achieve their economic objectives while addressing the needs of the environment, employees, communities, and other stakeholders. The program reflects the growing trend among successful companies to focus on the triple bottom line, seeking competitive advantages through practices that are succeed economically, are socially responsible, and environmentally sound. Students will make connections between their own organization’s financial, social and environmental performance and we encourage students to apply their learning to their own careers.

    The program provides students with a solid foundation in the core areas of business administration including: finance, accounting, marketing, organizational leadership, business law, operations, quantitative analysis, and ethics. But what makes our Sustainable MBA truly unique is that the principles of sustainable business are woven through every course and taught by committed faculty who possess real-world sustainable business experience. Our faculty members have highly regarded professional backgrounds and they are committed to helping students understand today’s sustainable business issues and challenges.

    Our online Sustainable MBA program consists of 37 credits. Each 3-credit course is just six weeks in length, followed by a one-week break before the start of the next course. We cap each course at 20 students, but our typical class size is 10-18 students: perfect for individualized attention and quality group discussion.

    The courses that make up the 37 credits in the Sustainable MBA program are intended to be taken in a linear sequence, with each course building upon the knowledge and content learned in prior courses.

    Student Variety: GMC students span the United States and the globe, bringing a breadth of perspectives and experiences not available in programs that draw most students from the same geographic area.

    Alumni Accomplishment: Our alumni have applied their GMC Sustainable MBA to become chief sustainability officers, start their own sustainability consulting practices and deepen the practice of sustainability within their existing organizations and communities. Because of the relationships formed throughout the program, our alumni remain connected with one another and GMC, creating a rich network of sustainable business practitioners.

    Proven Online Learning System & Small Classes Facilitate Learning: We’ve been teaching online longer than any other sustainable MBA program. You can focus on their studies, not on dealing with technological glitches. In addition, we cap classes at no more than 20 students per section. This ensures you can meaningfully interact with their fellow students and receive individualized attention from the course instructor.

      At Alfred I got interested in the place where politics and the environment intersect—business was one of the missing pieces for me. GMC was a great fit because it incorporated sustainability into business strategy.

      At the time there weren’t many MBA programs offering a sustainable business track,” he says. “GMC was, and still is, a pioneer in that space.

      The MBA actually helped me make a double jump at Triumvirate into a service director position. I’ve been able to help the organization develop more environmentally sustainable service programs. This has differentiated Triumvirate and allowed our customer to improve their sustainability performance.

      I was specifically looking for a program that connected my experience in sustainability with a stronger business mindset—our organization really focuses on the triple bottom line, although I hadn’t directly thought of it that way. The degree has given me a lot of tools, and a lot of possible directions for the future.

      I was interested in living an environmentally conscious lifestyle, before the word ‘sustainable’ was fashionable, so I was intrigued by GMC’s program. Logistically it made a lot of sense because I could continue working while earning a degree.

      Think about it this way—it’s late and you have a big project due. The geographical distance between you and your professors and classmates can ordinarily make that a pretty lonely experience. But knowing all my fellow students and professors personally is reassuring. You have that personal connection and sense of shared purpose.

      There were many schools that began introducing sustainability out here on the west coast, but I was attracted to GMC because of the many businesses in the northeast that were already incorporating triple bottom line into their operations.
