In the 20th annual Better World MBA Ranking, released by Corporate Knights, the University of Miami Patti and Allan Herbert Business School ranked No. 3 nationally and No. 15 internationally.
The Better World MBA Ranking is recognized as the only major ranking that evaluates accredited MBA programs’ commitment to equipping graduates with the skills necessary to solve pressing business and social challenges in order to succeed in a rapidly evolving global business climate.
To determine the ranking, Corporate Knights evaluated 160 programs spanning 12 countries based on their integration of sustainability into the curriculum and research, centers related to sustainability, faculty diversity, and alumni sustainability impact—a new indicator for 2022.
"This recognition is a result of the School’s drive to integrate sustainability across the business curriculum,” said John Quelch, dean of Miami Herbert. “Our MBA program is equipping students to address pressing global issues through the lens of business so they can purposefully lead in any industry.”
As the business world continues to grapple with rapid technological changes and climate change, Full-Time MBA students are learning the necessary tools to meet the demands of today’s more data-driven, socially conscious workplace.
“Today’s top MBA programs understand that future corporate leaders will be tasked with integrating social, environmental, and economic factors into daily business decisions,” explains Toby Heaps, CEO and co-founder of Corporate Knights. “By adapting their curriculums, these programs are equipping students to deal with new realities and challenges already shaping the global business community.”
This year, the U.S. Green Building Council, a preeminent organization assessing sustainable building practices, awarded Miami Herbert’s building its highest rating for existing buildings: a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Platinum Certification for Operations and Maintenance.
In 2019, Miami Herbert launched a first-in-the-nation STEM-certified Master of Science in Sustainable Business to fulfill an emerging need for professionals who understand the social and environmental impact businesses have on stakeholders. The program is part of a school-wide focus on sustainability, which includes a Sustainable Business Research Cluster, presentations by thought leaders in business sustainability, the Chief Sustainability Officer Summit, and membership in the UN Sustainability Solutions Network.
