ASPEN RATED IN TOP 25 ON GLOBAL 100
Since 2007, Duquesne University's MBA Sustainability has been ranked among the top 25 programs in the world on the Aspen Institute's Global Top 100, a ranking produced as part of the biennial Beyond Grey Pinstripes survey. Among schools of comparable size, Duquesne ranks #7 worldwide.
Beyond Grey Pinstripes is a research survey and ranking that spotlights innovative full-time MBA programs leading the integration of social and environmental stewardship into graduate curricula. Approximately 12,000 courses and faculty research abstracts and 4,000 examples of institutional support were collected from 149 participating schools to compile the 2011-12 rankings.
