Accredited by the New England Association of Colleges and Schools, Green Mountain College in Poultney, Vermont, centers its online MBA program on one specific topic: sustainability. Online MBA students must attend two residency sessions at the campus during the first and last semester, where they will meet fellow students and faculty. They then begin a series of six-week online courses in management, communications, information technology, marketing, finance, accounting and economics. Each course examines the topic of sustainability--from awareness of and responsiveness to the interests of the environment, to the needs of employees and other stakeholders of an organization. For students who'd prefer to focus on earning a general MBA, Green Mountain offers courses in leadership, business ethics, decision-making and strategic management. The online MBA can be completed in two years and requires 37 hours of course work. Interested candidates must have a GPA of at least 3.0 and provide a GMAT score earned within the past five years or, in place of the GMAT, provide a quantitative skills assessment that includes a list of college-level math, statistics, economics, finance and accounting courses. They must also write a personal essay.
