About [Edit]
Our Mission
To prepare diverse leaders to build economically successful, socially responsible and environmentally sustainable enterprises.
We mean this mission in the broader sense – not only preparing our own students, but also helping other business schools integrate sustainability [i.e., environmental and social responsibility] into the heart of their programs.
Our Vision
To infuse environmentally and socially responsible business innovation into general business practice by transforming business education.
BGI is pioneering a graduate curriculum for sustainable business education that infuses social and environmental responsibility into every course – not just electives but all required courses as well. We train students with the leading sustainability case studies, best practices, models, and business management tools. With this knowledge graduates will be well equipped to successfully lead a large corporation, small business or non-profit organization toward sustainability as a core strategy, or launch their own sustainable entrepreneurial ventures.
MBA in Sustainable Business
Today, most MBA students get little exposure to social and environmental issues in their graduate curriculum and consequently tend to view them as peripheral to business success. BGI’s unique program preserves the academic rigor of a traditional MBA program, while infusing sustainability throughout every course. The program’s focus on entrepreneurship for sustainability prepares students to start their own sustainable enterprises or to be effective change agents within existing organizations.
Our MBA in Sustainable Business is a two- or three-year, part-time program designed for working individuals. Students and faculty meet in intensive classroom sessions for a four-day weekend once a month between October and May at the IslandWood learning center on Bainbridge Island, 35 minutes by ferry from downtown Seattle. The academic year is kicked off with a seven-day intensive at Channel Rock, our eco-retreat center on Cortes Island in British Columbia.
