Net Impact is a "global network of leaders who are changing the world through business" and are cosponsors of our Graduate Degree Fairs for the Public Good. We're excited to share their annual Business as UNusual: Net Impact Guide to Graduate Business Programs, which provides information on socially responsible business graduate programs as rated by Net Impact chapter members (current MBA students) in those business schools. You can download it for free as a pdf from their website!

Northeastern University’s Graduate School of Business Administration (Boston) offers scholarships to socially responsible leaders who enter the full-time MBA program. Northeastern’s generous scholarship awards are valued at up to full tuition. We value the leadership skills, talents and global perspectives that activists can contribute to make a difference in the classroom, in the business world and in our greater communities.

The Public & Nonprofit Management Program (PNP) at Boston University’s Graduate School of Management is designed for full-time and part-time MBA students who seek to use core business management skills to address society's most challenging humanitarian and social problems in the global economy. Whether you plan to work in the government, nonprofit, or private sector, PNP at Boston University will prepare you with the financial, operational, leadership, and entrepreneurial skills to lead and manage in today's changing environment.

With an emphasis on enriching your professional experiences and enhancing your problem-solving abilities, the PNP program prepares you to lead through exposure to PNP courses, experiential learning, internships, and student clubs related to Social Responsibility.

BU PNP students gain hands-on consulting experience through classroom-based field projects in management consulting, marketing social change, and social entrepreneurship. Some of the organizations BU has recently partnered with for these projects include: Citizens Market, Seeding Labs, Timberland, Mailcall.com, Pine Street Inn, Minga International, My Town, Camp Starfish, and Ubuntu at Work.

BU also offers all of its MBA students the opportunity to participate in the Brazilian Field Seminar which is designed for MBA students who seek to understand the changing role of business in society. Specifically, students examine the business model(s) of social enterprises that are meeting the needs of emerging markets while also addressing societal challenges such as access to health and education and maintaining a sustainable environment.

Kristen McCormack is the faculty director of the Public & Nonprofit Management Program and teaches several courses each year.
