SAN FRANCISCO STATE UNIVERSITY  

In response to growing demand from companies seeking employees with a business background in
sustainability, SF State is expanding its MBA course offerings with an accelerated Executive
Master of Business Administration (EMBA) program with a sustainable business emphasis.
The first cohort will begin in January 2011.

Our 16-month program will consist of three courses per semester delivered during four consecutive semesters, with an
August break. Within each semester, one course will focus specifically on sustainable business, while sustainable business
curricula are woven throughout the other courses.

This accelerated program will offer courses that will emphasize management of risk, values-driven leadership and recognizing
market opportunities created by environmental and social challenges. In addition, sustainable business curricula will be woven
into each class.

SF State's new emphasis will continue to be rooted in business and economic fundamentals, while weaving in issues of
sustainable business. The new sustainable emphasis will offer an opportunity for people in business to shift careers or ramp
up sustainability experience.

SF State’s Downtown Campus location, near the headquarters of some of the largest companies in the world, offers an
abundance of opportunities for EMBA students, offering direct access to world headquarters of major operations, non-
profits and governmental operations. "We're at the nexus of where the world comes for business. If there was an epicenter for
the green industry, it's right in the middle of downtown San Francisco", says EMBA Director Aaron Anderson.

The program expands the College of Business' dedication to ethical and sustainable business education. SF State's MBA
program was ranked No. 23 in the U.S. and No. 29 in the world in the Aspen Institute's 2009-10 Beyond Grey Pinstripes survey.
The biennial survey measures how well institutions prepare students for environmental, social and ethical complexities of
modern-day business.
