Online Green MBA Degree in Sustainable Business at Marylhurst University

The new MBA concentration in sustainability becomes the second concentration (joining real estate) available solely online at Marylhurst. The university has the highest combined on-ground and online college enrollment of any MBA program in Oregon.  Inaugural classes began at the end of June and concentrations within the new online degree program will address the most pertinent sustainability topics: renewable energy, green development and public policy.

David Plotkin, Marylhurst University provost, had this to say;

“We have collaborated with industry leaders to create a relevant and compelling online curriculum in sustainability. Each online course has been written to incorporate the important issues pertaining to the green movement. Being in Portland, one of America’s greenest cities, gives us a strategic advantage to be a leader in this area.

As a longtime education provider to “non-traditional” students, Marylhurst was among the first to offer online college classes (since 1996), and the university is recognized by the Council for Adult & Experiential Learning for its “comprehensively effective practices in serving adult learners.” This includes a 2004 CAEL Institutional Service Award for “outstanding commitment to the expansion of lifelong learning opportunities and for innovative efforts to improve access and quality in academic programs for adult learners.”

With a multimillion-dollar campus-wide reconstruction completed over the past decade, Marylhurst is undergoing tremendous growth.  “While the student population is growing, we are still maintaining small class sizes, adhering to high faculty standards and staying true to our commitment to developing ethical leaders,” said Mary Bradbury-Jones, accelerated online program director.
