An alternative ranking of master of business administration programs has listed Lamar University’s MBA program as one of the best in the world.
Lamar ranked 85th on the Aspen Institute’s Beyond Grey Pinstripes Global 100 list. This alternative ranking of business schools spotlights innovative MBA programs that integrate social and environmental stewardship into their curriculum and research.
“The faculty of the College of Business and particularly Dr. Brad Mayer, associate dean and director of the MBA program, have been hard at work enhancing and broadening our curriculum to better incorporate ethics as well as social and environmental concerns in our courses, offerings and activities,” said Enrique “Henry” Venta, dean of the College of Business. “The recognition from the Aspen Institute is gratifying.”
The biennial list is based on a research survey of schools with full-time, in-person MBA programs. The survey focused on courses, extracurricular activity and research at each school to determine how well MBA programs incorporate social and environmental issues into the training of future business leaders.
The Beyond Grey Pinstripes Global 100 list recognized programs in 19 countries. Lamar was among 71 U.S. schools spotlighted.
