The Aspen 100

This ranking is the result of over 18 months of rigorous research – designing the survey, outreach to MBA programs around the world, data collection and analysis – looking at how well MBA programs incorporate social, environmental and ethical issues into the training of future business executives. Approximately 80,000 pages of data were collected from 149 participating schools.

Goals

1. Promote and celebrate innovation in business education. The School Rankings call attention to institutions that do this work well.
2. Inform prospective students about environmental and social impact management programs.
3. Raise the bar by challenging business schools to incorporate social and environmental impact management topics into their curricula.
4. Inform corporate recruiters of business schools that are providing training in social and environmental skills as part of business decision making.
5. Disseminate best practices in teaching, research, and extracurricular activities. The Search function provides access to detailed information-often including syllabi-on thousands of courses, scholarly journal articles, and more.
6. Facilitate conversation – Real change only comes after students, faculty, administrators and business leaders begin to discuss these issues.
