MANAGING FOR A SOCIAL MISSION

The Heller MBA is accredited by the AACSB and is ranked number two in Boston by the Aspen Institute, an organization that ranks graduate business programs on the degree to which they integrate ethical, social, and environmental issues into their curricula.  The Heller MBA prepares early- to mid-career professionals to effectively lead organizations with a social mission, whether in the non-profit, for-profit, or public sector. Heller's unique MBA provides students with the training to address the distinctive management issues facing organizations whose mission is to help underserved and vulnerable populations, or to improve social and environmental outcomes more broadly.

If your goal is to lead an organization with a social mission, the Heller MBA is for you. Its 16-month structure condenses two years of curriculum into four consecutive, intense semesters of learning, ideal for people who want to return to work quickly and put their new skills into action.

Heller MBA students develop effective professional skills in a setting with others who share their values and interests in pursuing a social mission. At Heller, the culture of the classroom provides a participatory, supportive environment for student learning. The goal is to enable students to share the insights and experience they bring to the program and help them to achieve their highest performance while providing them with models for leading effective organizations.

The Heller MBA trains students to be leaders and decision-makers who can find resources and use them effectively to achieve social goals. Managers with a Heller MBA bring solid management tools, analytic skills and personal commitment to bear on answering some of today's most pressing social problems.

The Heller MBA is jointly delivered by the Heller School for Social Policy and Management and the International Business School of Brandeis University.
