What does it mean to truly integrate sustainability into an MBA?

According to CEO Magazine's 2026 Green MBA Index, it means going far beyond offering a few sustainability courses.

We're proud that the Bard MBA in Sustainability has earned an AAA rating, recognizing programs where sustainability is woven throughout the student experience—from curriculum and experiential learning to faculty research, institutional commitment, and graduate career pathways.

At Bard, sustainability isn't a concentration or elective. It's the foundation of how we teach business.

This latest recognition adds to a growing list of honors that reflect our commitment to preparing leaders who can create lasting environmental, social, and economic impact.

🌼 Happy National Pollinator Week! 🐝

This year, the CEP Class of 2026 planted a pollinator garden, creating a welcoming space for bees, butterflies, and other essential pollinators that help support healthy ecosystems.

This project is a reminder that sustainability begins with the actions we take in our own communities—with care for the land, local biodiversity, and the species that help our planet thrive. 🌱

A special thank you to the Bard CEP Class of 2017 for sponsoring this project and helping bring the garden to life!

We're also grateful for the work of The Pollinator Partnership, whose mission is to protect pollinators through conservation, education, and research.
