Corporate Knights Magazine recently put out its annual top 10 ranking of Canadian MBA programs. Like many of the top 10s (*cough* Beyond Grey Pinstripes) there's a definite focus on sustainable practices. Although Corporate Knights has some interesting things to say about this subject:
one thing was clear: there are strong leaders when it comes to sustainability in business education, but the majority still has a lot to learn.
I do agree with their chief researcher, who said this about sustainability in business programs:
Too often, universities are looking at sustainability as a niche course or case study. It needs to become part of the mainstream curriculum, woven into the core of business education. This year?s leaders represent a needed shift towards a more holistic education system.
Makes sense, doesn't it?
As for the rankings, not much surprising here... Schulich has been at the top of this list for seven years now:
1. York University - Schulich School of Business
2. University of Calgary - Haskayne School of Business
3. Concordia University - John Molson School of Business
4. University of Alberta
5. University of British Columbia
6. University of Toronto
7. McGill University - Desautels Faculty of Management
8. Simon Fraser University
9. École des Hautes Études Commerciales,
Université de Montréal (HEC Montréal)
10. Dalhousie University
