 THE GREEN MBA

MASTER OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

IN SUSTAINABILITY DEGREE PROGRAM

DISTANCE LEARNING PROGRAM

 

Happening now: a vast expansion of the market for
environmental management expertise and skills.

These skills are needed throughout the business world,
including nonprofits and government agencies, the
construction and building development industries,
and the design professions.

You can gain such expertise from sustainable business
MBA programs that charge $14,000 - $18,000 for
two- to three-year programs.

Or you can gain such expertise from our sixteen distance
learning courses, study the same course materials, and
receive the same high-quality education for $4,800,
or less with special discounts. (See the low tuition
discount payment options on the Enrollment Form at the
end of this page.)

We can make this offer because operating costs for
distance learning programs are vastly lower than they
are for a campus-based program.


Distance learning is completely self paced and self managed, so you can complete your studies and earn an MBA as quickly or slowly as your schedule permits.

If you are a design professional requiring continuing education units, you can simultaneously earn your quota of CEU's while earning academic units toward a GREEN MBA degree.

We are a Registered Provider of Continuing Education for the American Institute of Architects. For over ten years, we have provided distance learning courses for over 5,000 architects and engineers (see our AIA continuing education courses at www.AEUniversity.net). We also have the longest-running, largest, professional ecological and green architecture design degree program in the world.

Course topics are listed below. If you're interested, you can enroll now with the Enrollment Form below.

Within a week or less of receipt of your enrollment, we'll e-mail you a detailed textbook list and study instructions, and you'll be on your way, on your own schedule, at your own pace. The course list is shown below.

International students are also welcome to enroll, at no additional cost. (Textbooks are difficult to obtain in some countries, so international students should be sure they have access to book sources before enrolling.)
