More Business Schools Focus on Sustainability, Report Says

The Aspen Institute released this morning the 2007-8 edition of “Beyond Grey Pinstripes,” its biennial alternative ranking of business schools and survey tracking how full-time M.B.A. programs are addressing social and environmental issues. Among other findings, the survey showed that the number of reported M.B.A. courses that focus on sustainability jumped from 13 in 2001 to 154 in 2007. Still, the number of the business schools that pay attention to such matters is relatively small, even if the cohort is growing. Stanford University’s school led the way, finishing first in the ranking, as it did in the institute’s 2005 report. —Andrew Mytelka
