MBAs with a green tint

There was a nice article in the paper today about our dear friends at the Presidio School of Management.

Run by eco pioneer Hunter Lovins, Presidio is one of only three of these green programs in the country. I have several friends who have already gone through the program, and many more currently enrolled. Watching their evolution and progress has been incredibly impressive. Most of these people were already successful in business and I was shocked to hear they would be hanging that up to return to school. Their gambles have been paying off.

Although Presidio is only one of three, it appears to be part of a larger trend among MBA programs to incorporate ethics, environmentalism and social values into their curricula, propelled by such factors as the late 1990s corporate scandals and growing awareness about climate change.
