You care about people, and you care about the environment. Now learn how to make that work in business.

Our MBA in Sustainable Business will train you in how to create or support a profitable business that offers life-sustaining products and services while helping you grow into the best person you can be.

Success from Within

As a student in the MBA, you’ll practice the Transcendental Meditation technique daily. This evidence-based technique reduces stress, enhances clear thinking, and gets you in touch with the deepest, most authentic part of yourself—to help you unfold your full potential.

Professors Who Care

In small classes—MBA courses typically are under 20 students—you get to know your professors and they get to know you. You’ll always have the benefit of their knowledge and support.

You’ll also enjoy stronger connections with ​your professors and classmates—and you’ll never have to contend with a ​nerve-wracking ​finals week!
