Walton MBA ranked on Beyond Grey Pinstripes/Global 100 List

The Aspen Institute Center for Business Education has ranked the Master of Business Administration program in the Sam M. Walton College of Business at the University of Arkansas in its 2009-2010 Beyond Grey Pinstripes/Global 100 List. If private and/or international institutions are removed, the Walton MBA is ranked #28.

The Walton College was 91st on a list of 149 schools, which was compiled by the Institute “over the past eighteen months ... from 149 M.B.A. programs in 24 countries about the depth and scope of integration of social, environmental and ethical issues in business school education.”

Beyond Pinstripes is a biennial survey and alternative ranking of business schools conducted by the institute, which undertook an effort to map the landscape of teaching and research issues pertaining to business and society.

Judith Samuelson, executive director, Aspen Institute’s Business and Society Program, said, “The best business students move quickly into the front ranks of business — and the attitudes and values they bring to the table are deeply influenced by their time in business education. Will they accept the status quo or act on their passion about the positive role business can play at the intersection of corporate profit and social impact? The schools that are competitive in the Beyond Grey Pinstripes ranking are the real trailblazers — they assure that students have the right skill as well as the will to make things happen.”
