Beyond Grey Pinstripes Ranking of MBA Programs

The Aspen Institute published last week its biannual ranking of MBA programs, "Beyond Grey Pinstripes." This ranking ignores admissions criteria and abandons ROI. Through surveys of 149 participating schools, it attempts to rank the programs according to their "social impact management" or addressing of social, environmental or ethical topics. The goal: "spotlight innovative full-time MBA programs that are integrating issues of social and environmental stewardship into curricula and research."

The Top 10 per Aspen:

  1. York (Schulich)
  2. Michigan Ross
  3. Yale SOM
  4. Stanford GSB
  5. Notre Dame (Mendoza)
  6. UC Berkeley (Haas)
  7. RSM Erasmus
  8. NYU Stern
  9. IE Business School
  10. Columbia

If you are not the least bit interested in the topics Aspen is highlighting, then this ranking is irrelevant to you. However, if you are interested in sustainable development or social entrepreneurship, then you will want to review the profiles contained in Beyond Grey Pinstripes.

I think this ranking is extremely helpful when deciding where to get a masters. I was trying to use AcceptEdge to decide where I should apply to, but couldn't figure out a section for grad school. Does anyone know if AcceptEdge has a grad school option?? Or, does anyone know if there are any other services similar to AcceptEdge that provide the same information for grad school? This decision is really important to me and I want to make sure I make the right one.
