Beyond Grey Pinstripes

The Haas School ranked #6 in the world in the Aspen Institute’s Beyond Grey Pinstripes ranking, which seeks to evaluate schools based on their full-time MBA teaching and faculty research in social and environmental management.

The Beyond Grey Pinstripes ranking is based on data supplied by participating schools on relevant coursework, student exposure, for-profit impact, and related research. Specifically Haas ranked:

  • #7 for availability of relevant coursework, which counts the number of courses offered that contain social, environmental or ethical content;
  • #31 in student exposure, which measures teaching hours and student enrollment in these courses;
  • #5 in for-profit impact, which counts the number of courses that not only demonstrate their relevance to the survey, but specifically address the intersection of social and environmental issues in mainstream, for-profit business; and
  • #4 in research, which counts the number of scholarly articles containing some degree of social, environmental, or ethical content having been published in peer-reviewed, business journals in 2008/08.

Haas ranked #4 in the previous ranking published in 2007.
