WSU Vancouver’s
master of business Washington State University Vancouver’s unique stakeholder-focused master of business administration program has been honored among the Aspen Institute’s “Beyond Gray Pinstripes Global 100” top alternative business schools. “We are pleased to be listed in the top 100—WSU Vancouver’s program was number 76—out of 600 business schools surveyed” said Jane Cote, director of WSU Vancouver Business Programs. She added,” This was the first year we were even considered. As our program grows with even more options for our students, we’re hoping for even higher rankings in the future.” Rich Leimsider, director of the Aspen Institute Center for Business Education, stated: “At the schools that ranked high in the survey, students can select from an array of electives that deal with social and environmental topics, as well as encounter this content in core courses. In general social and environmental issues have continued to grow in importance in the business school curriculum. “This year’s survey tells that society and the environment are becoming significant issues on campus, not just for students, but in the dean’s office and in many classrooms.” Brian Baird gets
