Calling all Change Agents and Leaders of the New Economy!
BGI's pioneering MBA and certificate programs prepare diverse leaders to build enterprises that are financially successful, socially responsible and environmentally sustainable.
Our innovative curriculum preserves the rigor of a traditional MBA program,
while infusing sustainability—environmental and social responsibility—throughout every course.
The MBA program combines distance learning with monthly, intensive, face-to-face classroom sessions. Students build a strong, cooperative learning community with each other, the faculty and staff. Our faculty includes distinguished business school professors and business innovators from around the U.S. and Canada with a passion for sustainability.
Bainbridge Graduate Institute is thrilled
to announce the launch of its pioneering MBA in Sustainable Business
in an evening format based in downtown Seattle starting in Spring of
2010.
BGI’s Dean of Academic Affairs Scott
Schroeder commented “Extending our MBA to Seattle is an important
step in a broader plan to grow BGI as an Institute, position BGI as
a world class business school, and enhance our urban presence.” In
addition to the Evening MBA, BGI also anticipates expansion of the Certificate
programs in Seattle to help meet those objectives.
The Evening MBA will have the same curriculum
as the Hybrid MBA that runs as a distance learning and residential program at the IslandWood campus on Bainbridge Island. The main difference between the Evening and Hybrid MBA will be the delivery method and location. The Evening MBA will consist
of face to face classes with minimal distance learning and be located
at BGI’s downtown Seattle learning site location. This program, like
the Hybrid MBA, is designed for working professionals who are interested
in focusing their MBA on environmental responsibility and social justice, as well as profit. The Evening MBA will run two nights a week
year round for 2 and quarter years versus the 2 year or 3 year Hybrid
MBA that have summers off.
Bainbridge Graduate
Institute (BGI), the first graduate school in the U.S. to offer
an MBA in Sustainable Business, announced Tuesday August 18, 2009 that they
were awarded an initial grant of accreditation through December 31, 2012 for
the MBA in Sustainable Business, Certificate in Sustainable Business and
Certificate in Sustainable Entrepreneurship and Intrapreneurship from the
Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools (ACICS).
President and co-founder,
Gifford Pinchot III, remarked “We are deeply grateful to all the students,
graduates, faculty and donors who had the courage to work for and study in and
support a small, unaccredited school with the ambitious goal of transforming
business in the direction of sustainability and social justice. Becoming
accredited is a big step in the evolution and the growth of the school.”
