How green is Anaheim University? Let us count the ways. First, it is committed and on pace to become the world’s first paperless university by 2010. Next its president, Dr. William Hartley, signed the American College & University Presidents Climate Control Commitment in February and now is forging a path to green collar industries with its MBA in Sustainable Management.
Additionally, it announced Monday that it has seen a significant surge in student enrollments in its online Sustainable Management programs, which include six-week intensive courses such as, Triple Bottom Line Accountability, Green Marketing and Corporate Social Responsibility and Ethics.
"Our student numbers have nearly doubled over the last three months and our online classes are filling up with students interested in making a difference and becoming responsible for the environmental, social and financial bottom line,” says Darrell Nelson, AU representative. “With governments around the globe also starting to focus on the environment, it is exciting to see our sustainable management programs becoming the courses of choice for students the world over, who can then help to implement positive change at their places of work."
AU’s commitment to going paperless by 2010 stems from the school’s commitment to its Sustainability students.
