MBA: Bright Green MBA

The Bright Green MBA program is an adaptation of the existing MBA program at ASM. The core MBA curriculum is woven into a sequence of courses and experiences that prepare students to be effective leaders for a changing world.†
Courses are arranged in five strands:

Foundations of Sustainability – three courses that introduce students to the basics of sustainable thinking, key management approaches for sustainable organizations and systems thinking
Shifting Mindsets – three courses that focus on changing the way we look at traditional business topics to succeed in a sustainable world. Courses focus on marketing and consumption, leadership and change, and the socially responsible business including ethical practices and responsibility for all corporate stakeholders.
Making the Business Case – two courses that focus on skills and theories that help leaders make the business case for sustainability, including key financial, accounting and statistical tools.
The Strategy of Sustainability – four courses that frame various aspects of strategic thinking in a sustainable organization. The first, gives an overview of the strategic thinking, introducing tools that help leaders to focus on strategies that are sustainable. A second course focuses on entrepreneurship and intrapreneurship as strategic perspectives. The third looks at sustainable products, services and operations including sustainable design as a strategic advantage. Finally, the capstone course provides consulting opportunities for students to partner with local organizations to enhance sustainability and provide practical experience for students.
Professional Practice – one course delivered over the entire program in small seminars focusing on career skills, self-awareness, emotional intelligence, team building and other personal and professional skills to enhance students’ marketability and success.

The Bright Green MBA program has 12 courses and a Professional Practice component, which runs through the program.
