The Rankin College of Business at SAU provides an MBA program that holds full accreditation from AACSB International, the gold standard for business school accreditation. Only the top 5% of global business programs earn this prestigious recognition, reflecting our program's exceptional standards.
Social Entrepreneurship involves developing business-driven approaches to address social challenges while reinvesting profits for community betterment. This concept gained traction around the turn of the millennium, leading numerous organizations to incorporate social responsibility into their operations. The MBA/SE specialization equips graduates with essential competencies to pioneer and execute effective social entrepreneurship initiatives. The curriculum covers cutting-edge concepts in: creative problem-solving, global business operations, eco-friendly supply chain management, and project leadership, with electives available in community revitalization, nonprofit resource development, and grassroots advocacy.
The potential of Social Entrepreneurship is boundless, constrained only by one's vision to identify needs and ingenuity to address them.
Modern students aspire to create meaningful societal impact. The 36-credit Social Entrepreneurship track (available for both MBA and MPA degrees) develops graduates' capacity to tackle pressing social issues through innovative business solutions.
