MBA Program in Sustainable Solutions – Overview

Envision a more just, prosperous, and sustainable world. The Presidio Graduate School MBA in sustainability program equips students to become skilled leaders of this new world. Our curriculum begins with rigorous management theory and practice—and is combined with environmental stewardship, social justice, and systems thinking. It’s what we call the Presidian Way, and it’s why The New York Times said “If you want to change the world, go to Presidio Graduate School.”

MBA Program Format

The Presidio Graduate School MBA in Sustainability program is a 53-credit curriculum with 11 required courses, plus three elective courses from one of four specialty concentrations—for a total of 14 courses. Our sustainability masters program combines face-to-face classroom experience with the flexibility of interactive distance-learning. Students have as much in-class time as a traditional MBA program. Combined with virtual collaboration, this structure is ideal for professionals that today need to balance multiple responsibilities.

The program can be completed in 24 months full-time or in 3.5 years if enrolled part-time. Each semester, classroom instruction takes place over a monthly, four-day residency period (part-time students attend classes for two days). These residencies occur Thursday through Sunday, once-a-month for five months.
