Desautels makes Entrepreneur Magazine's List of Top 16 Most Sustainable Schools

Entrepreneur Magazine has outlined the hottest areas of opportunity in green business. McGill University's Desautels Faculty of Management was the only school outside of the U.S. to make it to this prestigious Top 16 list.

The Princeton Review selected the 16 b-schools featured in the Entrepreneur article, titled "A Sustainable Degree," based on the Company's survey of administrators at 325 graduate schools of business in 2009-2010 and of students attending the schools. Administrators were surveyed on their school's academics, curricula, campus policies and student services related to sustainability, social responsibility and the environment. Students were polled on how well they felt their MBA programs were educating them for careers in "Green Business" fields.

The Princeton Review chose the schools based on criteria that covered four key areas: the amount of research the school conducts related to sustainability, the availability of courses in sustainability, the percent of faculty teaching such courses, and the school's career services for students interested in green business/social responsibility employment.

In 2008, Desautels launched a new curriculum that integrates social, environmental and ethical issues into business education using case studies to "ground theory in the real world." The Global Strategy and Leadership concentration focuses most heavily on sustainability issues. The Desautels Business Conference on Sustainability draws participants and speakers from around the globe, including notables such as environmentalist Bill McKibben.
