Training Entrepreneurs
The
Global Social and Sustainable Enterprise MBA seeks to provide sustainable and social enterprise solutions to some of the most stubborn issues of our time including poverty, disease, malnutrition and environmental degradation. Our
sustainable MBA graduates go on to create and operate for-profit and nonprofit startups, non-governmental organizations, and to work in multinational companies that champion social and environmental objectives while delivering solid returns on investment.
Triple Bottom Line Approach
The GSSE MBA will equip you with the tools and network to become a global social entrepreneur, where the bottom lines are people, planet and profit. This sustainable MBA is in the business of creating a better world, improving the lives of people, while building profitable ventures.
Diverse Class
We admit a new cohort of 25-30 students each year, approximately half of whom come from abroad. We have had students from all around the world, including Bhutan, Uganda, Ghana, Iraq, Moldova, India, Nepal, Venezuela, Mongolia, Brazil, Ecuador and, of course, the United States. Our sustainable MBA students develop lifelong friendships and extensive professional networks during the program.

Summer Field Work
The centerpiece of the GSSE MBA is an intensive
MBA field work in which student teams work on ventures domestically and abroad to apply classroom learning in the real world. Our student projects are actual startups: GSSE Venture Teams work on a wide array of projects, including clean energy, irrigation technology, consumer products, clean water supply, organic foods and a host of other sustainable and social businesses. It is not uncommon for students to continue building these social enterprises after graduation.
